I only tip cash
I sure hope the IRS agents are required to buy their own ammunition. I’d hate to get shot with a bullet purchased with a fellow taxpayer’s dollars.
Wasn’t Sandy Ocasio guilty of stealing from the tip bar when she was a barmaid?
I have gotten a bit lazy this year, and put the tips on the credit card bill. But from now on I will tip in cash only. As I have done through my life.
She was ENTITLED to that money.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she called up the IRS and suggested it.
Some poor schlub works hard waiting tables, and the IRS is there for its pound of flesh.
Come And Take It
From my cold, dead apron you commies. Go get a real job.
$1.6B in tip income and what is the expected average tax rate should they be able to capture %100 of this? Maybe %10? These are low income unskilled people for the most part.
So all this bother and screwing up people’s lives for a measly $160M in revenue?
It it ridiculous.
I also tip the waitresses at the local CCP weather balloon buffet. Good solid food and you can pick/choose exactly what you want to eat. So if it is greasy stuff, I pass by and get the fish and other items. Salads with lots of expensive tomatoes. Roast duck sometimes and chicken. Peking ravioli (pork filled). Can I trust the beef there? I don’t eat it. Though I have eaten lots of Chinese style spare ribs there, and am still alive.
Not paying taxes on the tips is stealing from the government. Now, we seem to have an emerging standard in certain areas where if you steal < $1000 at a time, the government looks the other way and you get a freebie. Therefore, on a given shift, if the taxes on your tips are less than $1000, the IRS should just look the other way. It’s only fair. Just my humble opinion.
I tip 10% on a credit card. This creates an auditable transaction so no guesses need to be made. Then I leave the balance in cash.
Not paying me interest on the overage of taxes I pay during the year is theft.
I would like to have that on a tee shirt.
Stop making sense!
Millionaires, billionaires, and corporations that evade their obligations give money to the democrats, and so they will NOT be targeted by the corrupt irs. Why do you think they give all that money?
The ordinary people is what biden hates. Beat them into submission. Make their lives miserable. How DARE THEY WORK! If you don’t work but get money from the government, the irs has no interest in you at all.
The government is corrupt.
I don’t tip on the taxes added to my bill, and I don’t want my “gift” to the wait person taxed...
