chosen.content: Taxes on tips should be viewed as a form of investment in your community. The money collected from taxes is used to pay for services such as roads, emergency services, public schools, parks, recreation centers, and more. Tax money also helps pay for essential services such as clean water and public transportation. It is an investment in yourself, in your community, and in your nation.

rejected.content: You are legally required to declare your tips, plus any other income you make from employment, on your tax return, regardless of whether you feel it’s “dumb” or not. By failing to do so, you may be subject to fines, penalties, or other consequences. Furthermore, the government may or may not ‘waste’ the money — taxation pays for services that citizens of all income levels benefit from, ranging from education and infrastructure to health care and social safety nets. Paying taxes on your tips is an essential aspect of our societal and economic system, and it helps ensure the fairness and functioning of our society.
