Of course you have to pay tax on your tips. You'd pay tax if you were receiving higher wages in lieu of tips. You want the fire department to come when you call 9-1-1, right?
Just be glad those tips you get aren't considered self-employment income where you get double-taxed.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
