1)  Read as wide a variety of the stuff out there you can 
    (even the books by "dangerous crackpots").  
2)  Take a vacation to a tax haven you like because of what
    you've read about it.
3)  Open a bank account with an established bank.
4)  Ask your banker to recommend a trustworthy lawyer.
5)  Tell the lawyer what you want to accomplish and do
    what he or she says, if it makes sense to you.
6)  DON'T talk to anyone else--especially in your home
    country--about what you have done, are doing or
    are planning to do.
7)  As your resources increase, repeat steps 2-5 in 
    other tax havens.  Don't put all your eggs in one
    basket if you have enough to spread around.

8)  Send me $1000.  If you follow my steps 1-7, you will
    save many times that amount.

There's the rub... step 8 violates step 6. If following your directions 
indicates a moral obligation to pay, doing so would violate your 
directives and make one _not_ obligated to pay... :-)

Not so.  Just send postal money orders totalling US$1000 to:

			Sandy Sandfort
			Simple Access
			One Sutter St., #500
			San Francisco, CA 94104
			USA

Have it made out to me, or leave the payee blank and sign it with 
an illegible scrawl.  Include a for-this-purpose-only public key, 
and I'll give you more advice through the remailer of your choice.  
Q.E.D.

I'm shocked that I would have to explain this to a member of this
list.
