No, but I would for lying on a job application form, as far as I am concerned that is fraud. You can bang on all day about how you colloquially use the word "fraud", but at the end of the day, on a legal topic that has absolutely no weight behind it whatsoever.
Don`t give me this crap that you are protecting individual rights, all you want is the right to lie. Again, I am forced to wonder why you wish to have this as a right you can protect.
Ironically, you're example of 1984 is a pretty poor one as in that you were punished for telling the truth rather than the lies of the state.
Regardless of the legal issues, if I were to employee someone and to later find out that they had lied on their job application they would be immediately dismissed, no matter how competent they were at their job. They cannot be trusted on their job application, so I see no reason to trust them at all.
