Taxes are a law...not an arbitrary decision that I should pay some random work group an extra amount that is also arbitrary...and keeps seeming to increase.
EDIT I just don't get it. Why are people so emotionally invested in this? There are two things I can say and I can promise division, hostility, name calling, and hundreds of responses: "I don't tip," and "I prefer my steak well done." Holy crap watch the thunder roll!
This isn't an emotional response. This is a response to someone who is acting in a selfish way that is contrary to social norms. Kind of like the guy who pulls into a parking spot even though he knows someone has been waiting for it but the other car was in the way. Or the guy who always only ever tips 10% or less in restaurants. Or the person who brings a cart full of groceries to the express self checkout lanes.
I don't make the social rules. That is just what we have all decided to do as a society...if you don't do it, you will be judged. Don't take it so personally if you truly believe what you are doing is beyond reproach.
