    it promotes worker tax evasion

    this is the only argument I’ll hear in favor of tipping. People should cheat on their taxes until they pay as little as the wealthy.

        I mean, I get where you’re coming from. But modern US does not spend our tax money justly or wisely. Infrastructure crumbling, social services abysmal, arts funding abysmal…we are constantly taking our great revenue and mishandling it while people across the country suffer. Our system works for the rich, while running on money from the poor. The entire system is broken, taxing the rich will not solve the problem.
