 Right, because the government has an innate authority over you because you exist

Lol
Government has as much authority over you as Starbucks

 I know that but tell it to the ones pointing a gun in your face

 I did, and there's no gun to my face. All you do is write to them.
It is quite simple and nonviolent.
If you don't understand that government is a corporation that runs on contract law, you're fucked, and should pay taxes or go to jail, so you can have some free time to pick up a law book from the jail library. Then you'll have plenty of time to learn about Contracts

 Will it work if I tell them to stop stealing from my paycheck?

 Yeah dude but you gotta tell them with forms, like a W-8BEN with 0% written on it or a W-4 with "exempt" written on it.
If anyone asks if you're a US citizen, you tell them no, that you're a non-citizen national of your state, or of the united states.

 Nice, I can try that. So what happens when you want to travel by commercial plane?

 This just leads to more questions, like after I file those forms, will there be a confirmation from them? If there is, then I can use that to get my employer to not withhold my money from me?
