Because 'just stop paying taxes' is one of those things that sounds good and, while I agree that it should be a option for people to opt-out of at federal taxes at minimum, it is impossible to do for pretty much everyone and would likely destroy their lives if they even tried it.
Would I like to not pay taxes? Of course. But the steps you would need to take to 'just stop paying taxes' is beyond absurd for all but a handful of people that are willing to go to the extremes needed to do something that is way more complex to actually pull off than it sounds.

Just… stop doing it. It takes more effort to do it than not doing it. Just don’t do it. Like… what?
