Answer: When the United States started it came up with the Articles of Confederation, which served to frame how the United States should conduct things as a government. However, this system did not work and riots broke out like the Shays Rebellion, which was made up of farmers and veterans who ransacked a bank in hopes of getting what they were owed by participating. To revolutionary war. While the rebellion was quelled, it served to show the "big wigs" that the Articles of Confederation would not work, triggering the Second Continental Congress in which the Founding Fathers realized that if taxation without representation was absurd, they had to have a system to tax people. After that, it was evident that taxes were necessary for a capitalist system and are the norm in America today.
