70. Hand the server a cash tip when you hand back the bill Cash slipped under the bill

like you are buying drugs

Because that is what it is coming to Tips are illegal profits like Narco cash

Meanwhile the 1% steal Billions in front of everyone, don't pay any taxes
and like Trump, not only brag about it but claim tax evasion as a constitutional
right

To think the DEA executed Pablo Escobar for doing what Trump does every day,
cheat, steal, evade taxes and remove anyone who stands in his way

Escobar bragged about it and was executed Trump brags about it and he is the
GOP presidential nominee
