Quoted: I have looked all over the net looking into how to give up your social security number with no luck. Since you guys seem to know everything, I thought maybe I could find the answer here. So how is it done? How do I renounce my number and stop paying into the system?

Become Amish.
Change your name, & don't get an SSN under the new one. You won't be able to work at a "legit" job, but you'll be off the radar.
Get an EIN, work as a contractor, and hope for the best.
Lie about it. You'll still pay in, but it won't be "you" as far as the gov't knows.
Operate exclusively in the underground (cash) economy.
It's easy to drop out. It isn't easy to quit paying. You could change your name to Kweisi Mfume, SSN 256-01-1134. The gov't will be happy, so long as that 7.5% or whatever it is goes into the income redistribution till. If you go contractor, you are expected (and may be hunted down) to pay the SS (appropriate initials, huh?) tax on some portion of the earnings.
Mow lawns for $25 a throw and keep moving. Or, join the "Draft FLAL1A for President" movement, and I'll straighten it out.
