Why would you tip 20 percent on the tax?

You wouldn't. The pre-tax amount is clearly listed on the bill. It's just as easy to calculate 20% of the pre-tax amount as the post-tax amount.

The proposed "no income tax on tips": Why should it be exempt? It's income!

Agree 100%. Either all income should be subject to tax, or no income should be subject to tax. Special carve-outs are ridiculous.

As for the fantasy of tip culture in the US ever going away, there are close to 750,000 restaurants in the country. Unless you can get all of the owners to agree to prohibit tips, it's never gonna happen.
