See, I can't use his library since I live in NJ. Our taxes are bad enough here, but next time I'm eating in Fairfax County which I do from time to time, I'll be reducing my tip by the amount that the extra tax costs me. It's time for residents to stop gouging visitors. Restaurant workers take note. I cannot vote these @$$holes out, but you can.

Right now the restaurant meal tax in Fairfax is 4%. They are looking to increase it. I don’t know where the tax is 9-10%.
Obviousy, they could start with looking at expenditures. But if they are going to raise taxes, the alternatives create a burden that would once again fall on homeowners or car owners.
There are more homeowners in Fairfax than restaurant workers. And they would welcome you to keep your sorry arse in NJ.
Better still, leave a card and no tip:
“Thanks to the meal tax, that WAS your tip. And here’s another: you might want to vote out the idiots who decided they needed your tip more than you do. . .”
