that's nonsense, since the beginning of time taxes were trivial, only in recent times mass taxation for everything became the norm... the actual problem is that somehow people got a twisted idea in their heads that government is supposed to take care of them "from the cradle to the grave", but throughout history that was never the role of the government and it shouldn't be now...
