The telephone was not in regular use. All of the gas taxes, road usage taxes, etc were created after CARS were in regular use. Federal and state income tax were put in so we could have a few trivial things, like oh say, SCHOOLS. (100 years ago, Mom stayed home to raise kids who were functionally illiterate and worked slave labor hours on the family farm.) Social security was created for very valid reasons.
