I do both, and it's not the same thing. When your voting power decreases (mine's currently at 56%) the amount your vote gives out goes down. Giving a tip is a direct donation from you, not from the rewards pool.
They do, but so does USD from a federal mint. If you get a dollar from me or a dollar printed by the mint, there's certainly a difference there. The FED doesn't just give out free money though. At least, it doesn't give it out to regular people like you or me, just banksters and governments.

But dont it all came out of the pool in the first place?
