The Feds adopted a policy of assuming unreported tips long ago, so now they
tax servers, whether they made the assumed percentage of tips or not.

What's so surprising about that? The whole tax system is little more than
extortion anyway. Or do you actually volunteer to finance the projects the
government carries, like millions/billions to occupy foreign countries or
social programs riddled with fraud? I personally don't think ANYONE else
can "represent" me. And it is only "representatives" making decisions like
these "on behalf" of "constituents", including politicians looking for
increased "tax-revenues" wherever they can be had. But, that's another rag
for some other newsgroup.
