What you have suggested is tax evasion. You must pay yourself reasonable rates, otherwise, you will be treated as evading employment taxes. For a white collar job, that means significantly more than minimum wage.
The penalties (higher back-interest rates and fines) for tax evasion are quite severe. Jailtime is also a possibility.
I've not suggested tax evasion - stop exaggerating.
The only point I've mentioned is one of tax avoidance, which is in common practice. I've not advised you to do it either, just making a point that it is done - the system is unfair - people avoid tax (legally), whilst you are paying your honest share.
And please, Americans - are you able to think outside of your own country and it's laws?
