In my case, I am constantly thinking of ways to earn as little taxable income as possible and spend as little money as possible. I put as much under the radar as possible, but legally.

This can be through barter, craigslist, ebay, etc.

Grow your own vegetables and sell the surplus to your neighbors (no money spent at the market). Bicycle commute. Telecommute when possible. Buy as much as possible used from private parties - craigslist, garage sales, etc. Pay off all your debt and “horde” your actual earned (and taxed) money. Stuff like that.

I also ignore traffic laws when it is clearly safe to do so (and there are no cops around).

When one person does this it is pretty meaningles. When a lot do, it has an impact.

I am doing the opposite as far as the traffic laws. Police are being told to step up tickets because of state budget shortfalls. That is why more states are now considering laws that make it okay for cops to stop you only for lack of seatbelt use.

For my state, buy a cheap but reliable car so as to lessen property tax revenue. (I live in South Carolina), and I have yet to give up my terrific 98 Oldsmobile Intrigue that only costs me $93 in prop tax. (Still runs great!)

I'm not sure I see what good that does?

"I also ignore traffic laws when it is clearly safe to do so (and there are no cops around)."

Not to single you out - lots do it - but that's not "Civil disobedience;"
that's being a weenie.

Civil disobedience involves breaking an unjust law AND PAYING THE CONSEQUENCES.

That's what set Thoreau apart, or Socrates: they didn't hide what they did or try to escape the punishment.

Barter, depending on how it is done, can be taxable (depends on what is bartered and whether it relates to your line of work).

For example, John is a Dentist who needs new cabinets. Jim is a cabinet-maker who needs expensive dental work. John and Jim work out an agreement that Jim builds the cabinets for John and John does Jim's dental work in kind. No money changed hands, but both benefitted. This is taxable to the IRS.

That’s what radar detectors are for.
