This Tax Protester Leaves Angry Anti-Tax Note Instead of Tip

Yikes. There are a fair amount of tax payers out there who are all a flurry over the recent passage of Prop 30 in November. Apparently, some of these tax payers are so upset that they’ve taken it upon themselves to print out little cards of protest.

Like this patron (see the above). Originally spotted on Reddit by user nickshambo, he explains that a “Friend got this as a tip. I’d be livid.”

While Biz Insider’s Kim Bhasin cautiously notes that the card may be fake, let’s assume it is genuine and check the situation real quick: The guy or gal who left the card in lieu of an actual tip claims that as “a direct result of Propostion 30” s/he finds that they “must cut back on discretionary spending and gratuities.”

Note: While Prop 30 does raise sales taxes, this patron is most likely complaining about the tax increase for individuals in California with an annual income of $250,000. Buddy, we understand your passive aggressive fury. Although, next time, instead of spending cash printing out infuriating cards, stay home, save your money and pop a hot pocket in the oven.
