How do you propose to not pay taxes? Most people don't get a choice - their boss takes the money and gives it to the IRS. You can maybe get a little less than correct withheld and thus owe a couple thousand, but the IRS would catch on to that quickly and send you to prison.

They might or might not pay taxes, but they either way they are paying their legally required taxes. If they are paying less taxes than you think they should - that is politically debated.

File a new W4 with HR requesting no federal income tax is withheld.

they will ask questions if you try and when you cannot answer them 'correctly' refuse it.

Chill. It’s a hypothetical that will never actually happen. But if everyone stopped paying taxes, they couldn’t throw everyone in prison.
