Is it moral to not report all of your tips for taxes if you are a waiter/waitress?

[FindLiberty]

Don't leave "Tips"!

I leave cash "Gifts" and use these cards EVERY TIME http://store.theadvocates.org/category_s/65.htm

I file honest returns because I don't want the hassle of trying to hide. But it has nothing whatsoever to do with morality. Taxation is theft. You are not morally required to cooperate with a thief.

Pretty much this.

But if I was a waiter I probably wouldn't report all my tips!

And therein lies the conundrum.

I'd argue you are filing dishonest returns.

Is it moral to lock your valuables in a safe to keep burglars from stealing them?
