Eating out is an expensive luxury, even without tipping. If someone cannot afford an extra 10-20%, they should be conserving their funds by eating economically. Tipping should be abolished, but please don't act like people are trying to conserve money by paying 5 times as much for something they could cook at home, get as a TV dinner, or get from a cheaper fast food place.

Earing out is a luxury that if a poor person wants to spend their own hard earned money that they like make LESS THAN THAT WAITER, they can legally spend their their money however they legally want to. The janitor who worked his ass off making less than your prized waitress is not owed entitled to a tip because you feel they are more important. Nor should poor people take a vow of suffering or self infliction to not splurge on anything because you feel the waitress is more important.

Your argument is hypocrisy and elitism at best.

Not to mention not even grasping the irony of talking about a luxury. Tips are a luxury as well, that no one is entitled to.
