How many of us go out to eat?

[KCIndy]

Waitresses and waiters mostly work for below-minimum wage, and are expected to make up the rest of their pay in tips.

The tips, of course, are taxed by the IRS.

I suggest printing out the Slim Jim from the Ron Paul campaign site that describes the bill introduced by Ron Paul to abolish tips on wait staff tips:

When eating out, attach a decent tip to the Slim Jim before leaving it for your waitress/waiter.

I can't think of anything more pertinent and direct than receiving money directly, and then being reminded that it's getting taxed - and being introduced to the man who wants to get rid of that tax!

Great idea!!!

How about tip with bills on which the following is written:

and Always Tip Your Servers and Bartenders

I always carry Liberty Cards in my wallet. I have at least 5 blanks and 5 that I've written on that say "Keep your tips, don't get taxed!" and I circle the website. Of course, I never know what the response is to this, but it's a pretty direct thing, especially if you leave a good tip.
