We're talking income tax here feez. Anyone who earns income from working has payroll taxes taken out... even the self-employed. So, yes, it does directly address and refute your claim.
The concept that rich people avoid taxes is true in small part but is mostly a myth people tell themselves in order to believe that the rich don't carry the burden of the not rich... its not a valid notion.
