I am not sure I understand, the forefathers fought for no taxation without representation, not for no taxes at all.
They just wanted a fair tax, and to have a say in how their taxes where being used.

Taxation is in the original constitution. Do I think the tax system is fair? NO! Do I like tax dollars being wasted? NO!
Do I like having public highways, schools, libraries, armed forces, police, firemen, and the many other parts of my world that are paid from taxes? YES!!!!! Is there another way to get these paid for without taxes? Taxation is nothing more than a means by which we get these things. I hope you will become a tax defender as well. At the same time I hope you will get involved with the process and make a difference. Remember that with the Internet system it is just as easy to e-mail your representatives as it is to email your best friend or post questions on this site.

A lot of things weren't part of the original Constitution.
Would you like to see the Thirteenth Amendment overturned and slavery made legal again? After all, the Thirteenth Amendment is not part of the "original" Constitution.

I don't defend them,however they are necessary to a degree in any society.I personally believed that we are over taxed by government.I feel the vast majority of our tax dollars are wasted by the officials who we elect to office.There are only two things we can't escape during this lifetime and that is death,and taxes.

You should read the Constitution again. It's right in Article I.
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, "
