Au contraire....a self employed buddy of mine once told me, " if you're paying in to the IRS, you've made too much money...IOW, you haven't written off enough expenses...

That is not at all contraire.
The wealthy are able to tweak the tax code. People who got a tax increase from Trump are not among the wealthy.
Your buddy likely has a nice life, a great house, maybe a boat and a dock - or whatever he needs to pursue whatever hobby lights him up. A fine life.
But when the talk about the wealthy in America, we are not talking about millionaires. Sorry - we're just not.
Millionaires are not the wealthy. They're our neighbors. The working poor have more in common with millionaires than millionaires have in common with the wealthy.
