The explosive growth of gig jobs that count as contracted work that don't automatically take taxes out of pay may accidentally be the best way to achieve this.
Because if you work a traditional job, generally your taxes get pulled and sent to the Federal government automatically every paycheck unless you have asked for an amount to be withheld from that (and I don't actually know if you can withhold all your tax money from being taken out of paychecks or not).

DISCLAIMER: This is not an endorsement to not pay your taxes. This is a thought experiment about how such a thing could be achieved.
Interesting idea.
The book Rich Dad, Poor Dad was really influential in convincing people to start their own business, even if it was just a side business, in order to get the most tax benefits. His entire premise was that rich people do this stuff all the time, and the average person can tap into those same strategies, once they own a business to apply those strategies to.
Intriguing. Any tax pros willing to weigh in?
