Hedge against the IRS?

[lundy]

Is this possible? Heres an idea I have.

For everything that goes up, something else goes down. If gold rises, the dollar goes down. Stocks/bonds, everything is related. There can't just be growth, there must be growth and decay at the same time.

So heres my idea. If I am paying the IRS 100k a year. Shouldn't I also be able to short whatever is the opposite of the IRS? Isn't there some kind of deficit bill or whatever it might be called that would go up or down based on taxes collected by the IRS?

It seems that by doing such, you could hedge yourself and not lose anything to the IRS.

Is this even remotely possible? is it already in existence?

I'm not quite positive but I think if you put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger it permanantly gets you out of paying taxes. Anyone know for sure on this? Other than that I don't know of any other ways. LOL

you guys are funny, but i mean it in earnest...

if you pay the irs, you are shrinking the debt the government owes. Seems like you could go short bonds? But i guess the wise have spoken.

I agree it pays to be some kind of guru these days. The hard part is conning people out of their money.
