Employers should be prohibited from using their employee's tips to establish a lower minimum wage for their tipped workers.

There is nothing socialist about stopping individuals from stealing other's property. When employers use the customer's tip to reduce the wages of their employees they are stealing the financial benefits of the money customers have intended financially benefit the worker. Customers who universally tip to increase the worker's earnings are having their tip used to reduce the business's payroll expenses which subsequently financially benefits the business owner. This is simply theft. The tip credit is theft of the tipped employee's property, his tips.
