Why are you using all-caps?
The tax and credit card implications are irrelevant to the point of the linked article, which is about the framing / convenience aspect of having suggested tip percentages. Whether taxi drivers are making more money from credit cards (and you seem to have an interest in believing they aren't) is orthogonal to whether tip suggestions help them make more money.

To answer this question, we would need to test (a) credit card machine payment without tip suggestions vs. (b) credit card machine payments with tip suggestions. By comparing machine vs. cash, the fact that cash tips would never be declared accurately skews the results to where the test fails.
