And we had no NHS so many children died before they were 1 year old. Life expectancy amongst the working class was probably about 45.
Not every child went to school so many grew up not being able to read or write.
We had no dole or benefits so if you had no job you did not eat.
We had no state pension, so old people had no money.
We had no social services so people just had to "get on with it" if there were problems.
Bosses got very rich by paying their staff a pittance and expecting them to work 18 hours a day .
Children as young as 6 or 7 were expected to go out to work so did not attend any schooling.
All these things like the NHS, education, dole, benefits, pensions etc all need to be paid for.
Hence we have to pay more taxes

Wallpaper tax!
The wallpaper tax was introduced in Great Britain in 1712, during the reign of Queen Anne. Patterned, printed, or painted wallpaper was initially taxed at 1d per square yard, rising to 1s (£2.84 as of 2011),[1] by 1809. The tax was bypassed by purchasing untaxed plain paper and having it hand stenciled. The tax was abolished in 1836.[2][3]

"I thought that income tax was introduced in 1799"
Taxes started way, way back in the Biblical days...
"After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, "Doesn't your teacher pay the temple tax?"
"Yes, he does," he replied.
When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. "What do you think, Simon?" he asked. "From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own sons or from others?"
"From others," Peter answered.
