Customer rants about Obama and taxes in note left at diner

A client at a restaurant has allegedly left a note instead of a tip, blaming his poor finances on the Obama administration.

Because of “President Obama’s insistence that I pay ‘MY FAIR SHARE IN TAXES,’ I find that I must cut back on discretionary spending and gratuities,” he wrote.

This picture of the “tip” was posted by user Michael Kindt on his Tumblr account. Only the caption “Left in lieu of a tip. Gotta love those Republicans, huh?” was attached to it, so there is no telling if this is real or a fake.

As the Blaze puts it, this could be pure political propaganda, since there is no info on the name of the restaurant or date when the incident occurred. Then again, it could be that someone really decided to sacrifice a waiter's tip to make a point.
