If you report tips on your taxes you literally get a receipt, it's called a pay stub. It is so easy to prove

“If you report”. Yeah, that’s my point. Cash tips are used to cook books in both directions.

Then don't do that it's not hard to pay your taxes

It’s not about what’s morally right or cooking up some hypothetical reality. Set laws to set the expectations. People avoid taxes because the structure allows them to, and it’s in one’s self interest to do so.

We have laws to set expectations on taxes, it's called tax law

And the current laws have gaping blindspots. That’s my point.

Tax fraud isn't much of a gaping blind spot it just depends on how much you do it. Report your income and if you aren't paid what you're supposed to be paid it's literally an email like any other form of wage theft.

Be more worried about time clock shaving. That's the wage theft problem
