What was it like one hundred years ago in America?  We did not have a national debt and we had no taxes. We had the largest middle class in the world.  We were the most prosperous nation in the world.  Most women could stay home and take care of the children while Dad worked.  One paycheck per household was plenty back then.  Below is a list of just some of the taxes we pay;

Accounts Receivable Tax, Building Permit Tax, CDL License Tax, Cigarette Tax, Corporate Income Tax, Dog License Tax, Federal Income Tax, Federal Unemployment Tax, Hunting and Fishing License Tax, Food License Tax, Gasoline Tax, Inheritance Tax, Inventory Tax, IRS Interest Tax, IRS Penalties, Liquor Tax, Luxury Tax, Marriage License Tax, Medicare Tax, Property Tax, Real Estate Tax, Service Charge Tax, Social Security Tax, Road Usage Tax, Sales Tax, Recreational Vehicle Tax, School Tax, Telephone Federal Excise Tax, Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax, Telephone Federal, State, and Local Surcharge Tax, Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax, Vehicle License Registration Tax, Vehicle Sales Tax, Watercraft Registration Tax, Well Permit Tax, Workers Compensation Tax, and more.
With all these taxes it is a wonder we have any money left to spend on the good things in life.  I think we were better off one hundred years ago.
