The concept of taxes has been around for a very long time in human history. There are tax records carved into clay tablets found in the Middle East dating back thousands of years.
And yet the Republicans talk about taxes as if they were some sort of evil plot cooked up by Democratic politicians about 80 years ago to destroy America, and if they (the GOP) got rid of taxes, everyone would be much happier.
And yet if it wasn't for taxes, there would be no public schools, no public services such as fire fighting and prevention and police protection, no 911, no local recycling programs, no public cultural arts programs, no public libraries, etc. That would not make ME happy.
