“You must pay taxes. But there’s no law that says you gotta leave a tip”

Morgan Stanley (an American multinational financial services corporation) ran an advertisement in 2006 that featured a memorable line:
 
“You must pay taxes. But there’s no law that says you gotta leave a tip.”
 
The advertisement’s tagline has been included in many collections of one-line sayings about taxes.
