I think the founders would have been completely shocked by the end of the 19th century to tell the truth, and there were very few taxes in those days too.
The Anti-federalists saw it coming, and tried warn the states away from it, but were outvoted. Heaven help us if they had not been successful in demanding a Bill of Rights though.
