Correct. The US has always had taxes, it had one of (if not the) highest tariff rates in the world prior to 1913, which still pissed of plenty of people in its day.
People act like taxes just popped into existence one day because of jews. No, that's not it. Every functional government... ever. Since Sumer for fucks sake. Has had taxes. The government has to have revenue *somehow*. The articles of confederation made it so that the federal government of the US had to beg for states money for funding, and it was an absolute calamity. Oh, and the state governments still levied plenty of taxes under the articles of confederation. Go figure.
Tariffs or income taxes, every society has done it. Except maybe some isolated tribe of pygmy negroes in Africa, but they still probably have a system of taxation to a tribal chieftain or something via goods instead of currency. If I remember correctly even chimpanzees understand taxes. They at least understand money. Rome would not have lasted 5 seconds if it had no taxation.
If you do not want taxation, be an anarchist. There has never been a functioning government that did not have taxes or tariffs. Even if you have zero income or sales tax, you're more than likely paying a tariff, which is a tax, and which have pissed off plenty of people in the past just like income taxes.
