Going John Galt

I have trouble believing blog posts like this are serious.

I often tip generously both because I have been a waitress and because I think it is important to reward people who work. However, if Obama gets in (and it is still an if), perhaps tipping less or not at all would be a good way to save money as a way of "going John Galt." Yet, is it fair to the person who is stiffed? What about a compromise, just tipping less? What do you think?

Compromise with who? You should know, by the way, the blogger is Helen Smith, a forensic psychologist and the wife of Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit. ("Heh. Indeed.") Obviously another graduate of the Megan McArdle School of Noblesse Oblige.

She goes on:

I've been thinking. If Obama is elected, maybe in lieu of a tip I should leave a note like the following:

HOPE AND CHANGE FOR AMERICA: Spreading the Wealth Around.

In lieu of a tip, $_____ has been donated to the Re-Elect Obama for President Campaign. Thank you for supporting the man and the movement that are bringing America together!

If enough people leave notes like this, I'm sure it will galvanize waitpeople everywhere in support of The One!

I really think she should do that: it's the best way I can think of to let the people she's just screwed know that it wasn't an oversight, and she really is an asshole.

Thanks to digby.
