Why do state governments and the federal government collect taxes?

Why do state governments and the federal government collect taxes?
In order to maintain federal programs (health care, military costs, social security, ect.), each citizen is required to pay a portion of their income in order to keep these very expensive programs running. Each state in turn has their own individual programs which fall strictly under state jurisdiction (not under federal control) and thus states also tax citizens in that state to support their own programs.
