| Auditors reviewed two years’ worth of income and found that every individual had hidden some portion of their tips from the taxman, with about half reporting no tips whatsoever. |
| Quote: |
“Industry insiders often tell servers that they only need to report 10 per cent of their … wages as tip income,” says an internal report on the project.
“Our results indicate that tips are more likely to be 100 per cent to 200 per cent of … wages. In essence, they are only reporting 5 per cent to 10 per cent of earned tips/gratuities.” |

You make the United States out to be hell on earth. It's not.
