Why lie, just tell then what you want. If for example you're making 50k, and you want 70k ask for 80k. Usually they will tell you yes or no, negotiate, and tell you what they can afford.

While presumably there's nothing wrong with just saying "I'd rather not say" and trying to discuss what you want to be making, I don't think a lot of people feel comfortable not answering a question directly. I completely agree with you though, both sides should be as transparent as possible during the negotiation.
