I would be happy to see all tipping banned by law, and a livable wage paid to those workers instead. Not all waiters make $2.13 an hour. I believe in California they are still subject to the CA minimum wage law, which is higher than the Federal minimum wage.
Instead of being utopian, if you really feel that strongly, stop going out to restaurants. It seems odd to be against a type of work environment but then patronize that type of business.
