All taxpayers are exposed to the stock market via taxpayer funded defined benefit pension plans and retiree healthcare plans. Stock market goes down, taxes go up (and/or quantity/quality of government services goes down).
Of course, that can happen anyway due to a relatively rapid decrease in the purchasing power of the currency.
