So, don't actually try because, like I said, it's improperly enforced. Go watch that movie "Freedom to Facism". When a former IRS agent took it to court, the jury determined if they had to pay taxes, then so did the agent. Not a hint of understanding that they could have said "not guilty" and not had to pay taxes either. You won't be allowed to educate a jury and damned if an attorney is going to risk his bar card making that fight. And, they will charge you because they know a retarded jury will convict you because they're idiots. But to answer your question. When you get hired, don't fill out an I-9. Don't declare exemptions. Don't ask for any withholding. If you make over the minimum amount to file from investment, only declare that when you file, otherwise don't file. If at all possible, get paid in something other than the US Federal reserve dollar. Never allow them to call your wages income without objection. That kind of shit.
