I was a waitress when they first started taxing tips here in the US. Every day we were supposed to declare our tips. So we only declared enough to get us up to minimum wage (at that time our base hourly pay was $1.10/hour).
Since tips really are income, I can see the logic. But I remember at the time the IRS rules said you even had to pay tax on barters, such as if you traded a couch for a table. That never made sense to me.
Gee, only 49 lashes and not 50? It must be 9D chess or something.
(Aside: I find it hard to believe that is all you made! Nobody reads my blog, yet we made about the same? I thank everyone for their gracious support, and I think you, Mr. Rat, in my view you contribute a great deal to the internet.)
Well, the difference between a rat and a hamster is marketing, and obviously I’m not good at it. But we’ll keep gnawing and looking for ways to improve.
The 'news' itself has become a farce. It is hard to joke about a bad joke. But you did it !

Every little bit helps!
That... "USD 911" looks suspicious... 😜
Hard to tax inspiration on hiding the cheese.
