Tipping

So now it seems that Hillary Clinton's campaign didn't leave a tip for a waitress who Hillary Clinton refered to in a campaign speech after all -- why else would they have shown up at the diner to pay the women her tip? I haven't mentioned this issue until today because it didn't seem the facts were out yet. But now they are. The waitress got stiffed.

So Hillary Clinton surrounds herself with staffers who don't leave tips -- why should we care? We should care because this sort of behavior reflects on those who engage in the behavior. Democrats claim to be for the poor and for helping the poor. But when faced with a woman who is paid much less than the minimum wage because she's supposed to make most of her income in tips, the staff of a major Democratic contender for the White House don't bother to provide for the woman. I am not surprised. How can I say I'm not surprised? Well, there's the reason that I would not expect a group of people who think that you are being generous when you spend other people's money -- money you take awy by force -- to actually be generous with their own money. In fact, I would keep a close watch on my wallet if they were around. Second, there is the empirical evidence that Democrats in Washington, D.C. are far worse tippers than are Republicans.

So apparently the only way an elected Democrat will be generous is if 1) the person won't work, and 2) the money being given away has been taken from someone else. Theft and laziness -- the cornerstones of the Democratic party.
