#2 Get some business card printed up that say “Obama’s government has taken all of my money and I am unable to leave you a tip. You might try calling the White House at: (phone number) and ask Obama for your tip.” Leave this on the table whenever you go out to eat at restaurants or places where tips are customarily given.

This is just wrong. If you can afford to go out for dinner you can afford a tip. Your waitperson is working, just like you, they have a job and are doing it.

You want to punish the Liberal elite, stop going to movies, Buy Ford instead of GM or Chrysler, don't contribute to PBS and NPR. But don't take it out on someone that is working.

Agree. There’s lots of ways to make your point without sticking it to service providers who work for tips. Besides, unless you intend to not reurn to the eatery where you leave your card, such an act is just plain dumb cause those waiters/waitresses, etc will have their revenge on you. Maybe a big green booger mixed in with your pasta or something. Use your thinker, ok....

Whether you contribute to PBS or not, your tax dollars go to it anyway. However Veritas is on to something. As the economy grows worse under Obama’s ‘’leadership’’, I’m going to lord it over a liberal. That liberal, or rather liberals will be my two younger brothers and one of my younger sisters who voted for this clown. These are my kin for crying out loud and I’m going to ride them to the point of either them or me disowning each other. To any other liberal, well, depending on the situation, it’s going to be colorful. In conversation, with conservative or liberal I’ll make very clear that Barack Obama is not my president.

Regarding the tips, I’d say just cut back on them. If you normally tip 20%, roll it back to 15%. If you normally throw a few dollars tip for minor tsdks, cut that back 33%.

Explain that times are tough and you wish you could tip more and that you hope things will be better in a few years.

Stop going out to eat..or if you do..have your drinks before at home and cut the bill. That’s what we retired people do. Or invite your friends to dine in..cheaper and quiet.

You're an idiot.
The odds that he/she is an Obama voter is overwhelming.
Would you be OK with the concept if we just quit eating out altogether?
