Almost. Franklin said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes" in a 1789 letter reprinted in 1817 in a volume of his works.

Others have made similar statements. The first known is by Daniel Defoe: "Things as certain as death and taxes, can be more firmly believed." This from his book The Political History of the Devil, in 1726.
