I’m referring of course to the stack of things that the government keeps doing that just makes no sense and pisses me off.  There is of course the war.  There is the propaganda and the lies being used to justify the war.  There is the un-Americanizing of America going on where people are being criticized for doing no more than exercising their rights to speak their minds.  And now this thing I hear on NPR this morning.  Totally unrelated to the war, but still a reminder that the system is geared to benefit the wealthy class.  Apparently, the IRS is coming up with innovative new ways to make people who work for tips report all of the tips that they have received in order that they may be more properly taxed.  This includes waiters/waitresses, taxi drivers, haircutters, tattoo artists, any line of work where tipping is customary.  Nevermind all the innovative ways that the wealthy have to protect their prescious millions from taxation, no no no, we have to leave that alone, we shouldn’t punish the rich for being rich, that’s COMMUNISM!  No, we need to go after those thieving minimum wage tip earners.  They’re the ones bringing this country down!  Uh, waitress?  More coffee over here?
