Most taxation didn't mature until after WWI.

It was supposed to be temporary to pay for the war.

Guess what, the politicians loved the pay day and made most taxes permanent.

Especially income taxes.

You aren't kidding. There were some export taxes at well the US was going to put on the south. But yeah, most of it came to pay for WWI
