The problem with this approach is that it requires millions and millions of people to act in concert.
If only a few tens of thousands of people stop paying tribute, the enemy country will imprison or kill them all very publicly, in order to frighten others into compliance.
If a couple million people refuse, this makes it more difficult for the enemy country to both continue its regular activities and wage a campaign of domestic terrorism against its own subjects, but I think it would still happen.
If 20 million people refuse, the enemy country is finished.
