It sounds like the line of questioning here may be flawed. The founding fathers did not have a problem with taxation, as much as they had a problem with no self governance over the taxes being levied.

In a letter to James Madison, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "Taxes should be proportioned to what may be annually spared by the individual." While many of the founding fathers had different views on what a fair tax could be, they almost universally agreed that taxes were necessary and should not target a specific class.

In John Adams' defense of the constitution he wrote, "Property is surely a right of mankind as really as liberty. Perhaps, at first, prejudice, habit, shame or fear, principle or religion, would restrain the poor from attacking the rich, and the idle from usurping on the industrious; but the time would not be long before courage and enterprise would come, and pretexts be invented by degrees, to countenance the majority in dividing all the property among them, or at least, in sharing it equally with its present possessors. Debts would be abolished first; taxes laid heavy on the rich, and not at all on the others; and at last a downright equal division of every thing be demanded, and voted. What would be the consequence of this? The idle, the vicious, the intemperate, would rush into the utmost extravagance of debauchery, sell and spend all their share, and then demand a new division of those who purchased from them."

Adams was not arguing against taxes here, he was arguing against over taxation and under taxation of specific groups of people. The founding fathers realized a need for taxation but fought the idea of taxing heavily, in an attempt to deprive a man of his property.

America was not founded on the concept of a tax free society, it was founded on the concept of self governance and the ability to tax according to the needs of the people, removed from the hands of the British parliament.

In 1788 Thomas Jefferson wrote,

" Many of the opposition [to the new Federal Constitution] wish to take from Congress the power of internal taxation. Calculation has convinced me that this would be very mischievous."

While there were long debates on what the constitutional powers of this new country would be, it was these same founding fathers, after all, who decided to allow the power of taxation over the people.

I'm sure there are others here that could provide a more thorough explanation as this is not my area of expertise. The founding fathers did debate this topic quite fervently so I'm sure there's a number of different lenses to look through to see their true opinions.
