Yes...and other than nationalizing businesses (as in communism), I'd be curious how else you would think a government would raise funds to pay for itself and what it does?
More Information
The federal government had no taxing authority when it operated under the Articles of Confederation, from 1777 until it was reorganized under the US Constitution in 1789. The problem mentioned above -- that the government had difficulty raising funds to pay for itself -- was one of the key weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation.
While the new Constitution allowed the federal government to levy certain forms of taxes, Congress and the States had to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment (1913) in order to authorize a federal income tax.
