If aliens from outer space were to visit us today, there
would be a lot of frenzy. It would be expected as such because it is an
extraordinary event. But then if such alien visit has to happen regularly and
supposing they're here to stay, what happens next is that people will get used
to aliens. The alien event will no longer be as extraordinary as the first
time.
When something is already going on for a long
time, humans will tend become at ease with it. The thing will be treated just
as normal and typical.
Same with taxation. At the early times of civilizations, the idea of taxation as imposed unto the members of a society must have been an alien idea to all people. That is why even a minuscule rate imposed could result into a revolt. But then as the society rolls on, taxation became one of the typical stuffs in daily social life. People contend that such system is necessary and that paying taxes is an absolute duty of every individual.

Taxation begun as a repugnant idea. But it did not remain as such through times. People got used to taxation already for a long
time and they now thought it is already normal. People, over
time, got used to it.
