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.
Agree with your reply. As for "tip culture", who says the restaurants are incharge or your participation. Screw them. They have been passing their wage responsibilities on to us for ages. We have been scammed. Customers just don't want to push back. How high does the tip percentage have to get before people get fed up and waitstaffers lose their jobs because we've had enough.
