Obama is breathing through his rear mouth again!

The “rich” don’t pay taxes, because their money is kept out of the reach of the tax man.

The poor pay all the taxes in the end, since every penny they make is spent on necessities.

You need to define those terms better. The "rich" you speak about are those with sufficient wealth that they have no need to work and their passive income is carefully managed to minimize the tax consequences.

The "poor" are really those who must EARN income and are subject to income and payroll taxes. The income tax is designed to steal so much that most people can never graduate into the truly "wealthy" asset range that allows them to option to no longer have to earn a living.
