return2ozmaHarris says she supports eliminating federal taxes on tips
AarrodriHow about getting rid of tops
Tips and pay your employees?
Dunno if you’re aware but the president can’t do that
The president can’t unilaterally decide whether tips are taxed or not either.
This article is not discussing an action Harris can or will take. This is discussing policies she supports- she can use political influence to help get it through and past Congress.
This applies to like 95% of all political discourse by the way. People want to blame the president because it’s easier to blame one name and face than to try to pick out one of the hundreds in Congress.
JesusOr do both.
Dems want to raise base pay, and the GOP does not, so they keep lobbing things like this over the fence.
By saying tip won’t get taxed, you knee cap their stupid plan and can focus the conversation on raising base pay.
Not taxing tips is the government subsidizing businesses that underpay their employees. And makes eliminating tipped wages harder as the tipped take home pay will be that much higher.
Yeah, but you’re going to lose at the ballot box with that.
If Harris is smart she will remove Trump’s no-tip differentiator, and go bigger. Go bigger by saying “Americans are sick of 20% and 25% tip buttons on everything. Pay better wages.”
