I think it's true that many taxes around the world, especially
income tax, were originally war-funding taxes. Most of them
were meant to be temporary but have remained, unratified
by parliaments or senates, and definitely were not mandated
by populations at the time they were introduced. They were
given the popular go-ahead as there was no viable alternative
to raising money for the war(s) effort though. I know for sure
there is a group in New Zealand and one in the UK (and possibly
the US I have a feeling) who believe and claim to have evidence
that the income taxes gathered for many decades were and are
still illegal
