I always thought taxation should be for services that benefit the common good: utilities, first responder services, roads, food safety, etc. Are we being taxed as a way to prevent an uprising against the 1%?

That's basically the exchange: contribute to society and society will make sure that your needs are met. Therefore, I would say that taking a portion from those who have an excess and giving it to those who do not have enough is within the legitimate role of society.
