How to stop Paying Federal Taxes

I am racking my brain over this

Is it possible to keep from paying federal taxes without recourse or is it possible for states to absorb those taxes rather than being used to oppress this nation.

I fill out my tax return and feel a bit embarrassed for a couple minutes. Then I chuckle knowing Uncle Sam looks at my filing, shakes his head, and walks away.
