Re: a country that was founded on a dislike of taxes
Ever wondered why there's such a huge gap between declaring independence and signing the constitution?
The first constitution (articles of confederation) failed, despite the good intentions because the new "federal" government had no money, it was the second constitution (now called "The Constitution") almost a decade later that required federal taxes, allowed a new "United States" government to be formed, the country is literally "Founded on taxes".
