Now you are just down to arguing that when there is an additional transaction (i.e., you tipping and contributing to a dealer's income), it's wrong for the gov to tax that income. Um, OK. The government taxing a source of income once? We can't get more anecdotal than that. That's not what people complain about when they complain about double taxation.
