Mmmm... Your request added in an extremely tenuous condition. living 
free _in_America.

I characterize your view of freedom to be a fairly extreme perspective 
(taxes are tantamount to slavery, etc)... but at the same time you're 
asking for a means of maintaining this rather-extreme freedom while 
living _in_America - within a social structure (rules tantamount to 
slavery). Living within the social structure of America is quite 
voluntary - it doesn't take much to move 'off the grid', but at that 
point saying that you live "in America" seems rather academic. Sure, 
you're within the geography of the nation but not within its social 
structure. So I have my doubts that your question is even answerable, 
based upon its implied conditions.
