“I was wondering if wealthy people that have that extra little income would maybe feel a little extra compassion and leave even bigger tips,” Yarrow says. “It’s not happening.”

Do you expect it to happen when the government is going to reach into their pockets and redistribute their wealth anyway.

For some strange reason, the most pro-Marxist voters are never generous with their own money but expect others to spread their wealth.

I'm not even grossing $60K annually, but am expected to subsidize the pensions and salaries of teachers and govenment employees that put in far fewer hours, take far fewer risks and have far fewer skills for far more money. I, and a lot of other workers in private industry just like me, are getting tired of it.

That always burns me also- I pay taxes to people that enjoy a better lifestyle than I do.

Looking on the bright side if the economy goes down there will be a possible leveling readjustment

We are all toast anyway
