How exactly do you propose to do that? Your employer is legally required to withhold it from your taxes; you don't really get a choice in the matter. You might think you could somehow talk your employer into not doing it, but there's something called the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty that means that if an employer who is required to withhold earnings and use it to pay FICA taxes does not do so, then the employer is responsible for making up the difference. This penalty may NOT be discharged in bankruptcy, either. So good luck with that.

Why doesn't everyone pay FICA taxes on all reported income as do low income earners?

Your premise is wrong. FICA is paid on FICA wages (different than reportable income in many ways), and is paid by everyone up to a certain FICA wage limit, which increases with cost of living...currently about 102K a year. If your seldf employed, you pay essentially 2x as much as an employee...because the company of an employee pays half the total 15.3% total tax. (So the owner of your company pays 7.65% FICA for each of his employees).
