I thought the Democrats were only siccing the IRS on the rich?

Okay. So it's....what then? Mandatory?

What's the difference if I give my son $100 or give it to the girl who brought me my food?

"Is Tipping the same as gifting?


Tips are considered wages. That makes the federal income tax implications very simple: income to Knutson of $12,000. Gifts, however, have very different tax implications. For federal income tax purposes, gifts are not taxable to the recipient."

So essentially, by tipping, you are supplementing the business owner's wages to the employee.

But that's arbitrary and unenforceable. What if my son is my server and I slip him $20? Is it a gift or a tip?

What makes one income and the other a gift?

What if I stiff her, but give her a nice card with a $100 bill in it? Is it a gift then?

If you decide to wait outside of the business until the server's shift is over and hand her a card with a C-note... then YES... it's a gift.

In other words, you have no idea, you're just talking out your ass giving precisely no thought to the things you say.

No. I’m saying you’ll have to figure it out without someone walking you through it. I’m quite comfortable with my understanding of IRS rules.

What you mean to say is you're comfortable doing as you're told regardless of how nonsensical it is.

This is the problem with humans - they do as Big Brother commands, giving those directives absolutely no thought whatsoever.

Maybe do a little looking into the difference between a GIFT and GRATUITY.

You know, I thought the same thing. When I've gone down the bill before, about the only unusual thing I'd find was, ooops, valet parking wasn't free. Who bought a movie? Dammit I said no minibar. That's why I wondered WTF is he talking about? Who on earth is fussing about paying "hotel fees"?

Now - HOSPITAL fees - they're another story. They're the one cost I can guarantee, insurance never covers and sometimes, the only fee I pay.
I mean, I sort of get it - it does cost the hospital money to remain open, even if it has almost no patients.

It's probably all those fees like occupancy fees, that hotel owners are being jacked out of because the Gov't is putting illegal aliens up in said hotels.
