I don't believe that at all.
Do you file a tax return? Do you take steps to maximise the amount you have to pay?
Do you buy your goods from the most expensive retailer you can find?
Lots of people try to spend the least amount of money they can, presumably why Wal-Mart is the US' most popular retailer.
Being under an obligation to hand over an additional few dollars to the taxi driver or to the restaurant is completely at odds with that natural desire to hang on to that which is yours.
