I understand that some people don't believe in tipping and, I guess, that's up to them but to blame a server for the politics of a state or the general economy is just plain mean.

Small minded people like these are just looking for an excuse not to tip and unfortunately other people "pay" for this behavior. I tip commensurate to the service, and make it a point to speak to the manager to inform him/her of exceptionally good, or really bad service. I can only think of one server that we have had at a Villages establishment (the name of the restaurant is inconsequential to this discussion) who was less than adequate (we were pretty much ignored-getting a drink refill was next to non-existent and the plates were almost literally dropped on the table).
