    What? I think you’re the one who can’t appreciate how taxation works (hell, I work in that field).

    Someone making 50k/year in salary should pay the same amount of taxes as someone making 20k in salary and 30k in tip.

    What you’re arguing for is for that second person to pay taxes on 20k only and to get the rest tax free, meaning they would end up with more in their pockets than the first person even though their total income is the same, that makes no fucking sense and only incentivize tip work in order to maximize people’s net earnings.

    If you’re tired of being asked for tip everywhere then you haven’t seen anything if tip is tax free.
