You said you don't care about taxes being raised because you will hide most of your money. So how is it I'm the one with the hangup? If you're really doing that, how is that fair? It isn't.
Name one, ONE waitress who claims all her tips, or pizza delivery guy... or the furniture delivery guy or the postman who gets $10 or $20 bucks for Christmas. How bout the Deli that takes cash only? The guy you buy your christmas tree from.... C'mon are you serious?
Wrong is wrong.

Our nation is broke because waitresses don't declare their tips?

OK, you're right. But you think people who work for tips are getting rich off of them? Personally, I think we do away with the whole tipping system. People expect tips now. Everyone wants a tip. Even people who don't deserve it. Those people should be paid a salary that they can live on. (btw, what does this mean? -->Kthxbai)

Perhaps we should all just make the same amount?

I don't think that. But I also think people at the top make way more than they should, at the expense of other employees. Carly Fiorina walked away with, what, 40 million bucks after driving HP into the ground. WTF? Why is she so valuable? Why are CEOs more valuable than cops or soldiers, who put their lives on the line, or teachers, who are supposed to be teaching our future leaders? Why is a janitor less valuable? Let's face it, he has a shitier job...

Yuppers... almost slipped by me.
Took me five years to post on this thread and two days to quit.
But I'll still read as you guys butcher the substandards. You know what I mean.
