He's talking out his ass. Taxes have always been here. Largely leaned toward tariffs. But everything I've stated above is the facts of the historical record. His ignorance or deception doesn't change this.
His idiocy claims filing is voluntary but filing is not required as paying personal income tax isn't actually required. Why would you file and pay that which is not required?
Regardless, the IRS' requirement to file is a well established constitutional 5th amendment violation. You are not required to provide evidence against yourself. Compelling this is a crime.
The federal government is supposed to be tiny. It's supposed to survive on tariffs. The rest is paid for by local taxes and bonds. This is why war bonds exist, to pay for a national military in times of war. It's why militias have full access to all arms in standard issue - until the military is raised.
Obviously much has been corrupted.
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.
Here is the case of Lloyd Long (save-a-patriot.org). This is why they have employer withholding. If you file a return, you declare your wages as income which then makes them taxable. If you do not file, they keep the withholdings.
