No Tax on Tips is a brilliant political strategy i.e. Trump relates to the rank and file

[Couchpotato]

The singular reason I oppose this is that it( like virtually everything Trump says) is bullshit.

Trump will do no such thing and Republicans would never allow it

Like I said this has zero to do with the actual idea. Hackity hack.

It has everything to do with the actual idea.

It’s pure political pandering and flat out bullshit.

It’ll never happen and was never a serious idea

Do you support the government paying off student debt?

Do you support the government paying off student debt?

I do.

And guess what?

These wait staff you’re so concerned about? Many of them are buried in student loan debt

 

[strollingbones]

trump is tossing crumbs and y'all act like it matters....he doesn't care about the working man or he would pay them when he contracts with them

 

[CrazyTrader55]

He's also talking about eliminating the income tax altogether and replacing it with tariffs on foreign goods.

A win/win, and can be passed in a reconciliation bill with a GOP Congress.

Sounds good in theory and I hate the IRS like all good Libertarians - but this idea wouldn't work.

 

[Couchpotato]

I do.

LOL. Your honor I rest my case.

 

[Couchpotato]

I do.

And guess what?

These wait staff you’re so concerned about? Many of them are buried in student loan debt

And this would help them so you should be for it.

Libertarians don't actually hate the IRS. They may hate what it has become.

Libertarians understand there will be taxes. They just want them to be no more than necessary.

His "No Tax on Tips" is not only a winning campaign slogan, but it is brilliant. And illustrates Trump's greatest strength which is his ability to relate to the rank and file American who is not blessed with great wealth.

Trump supporters don't care that he is a multi-billionaire but see him as one who had far less than a billion starting out and made his fortune building things, hiring people, contributing to the economy instead of by running hedge funds or getting rich in government. It is his ability to relate to the common man that draws tens of thousands to his rallies.

I don't know who will win come November.

But it should be Trump for the good of America. For the good of Americans.

I thought buying votes was bad, e.g. student loans?

Taxes | Libertarian Party

When you pay taxes, do you do so voluntarily? Or do you do so because you are forced to do so? If you don’t pay your taxes, what will happen? Will you be fined further? Harassed by the IRS or other government entities? Jailed? The Libertarian Party is fundamentally opposed to the use of force […]

Odd that their website would say the exact opposite of that.. Or is this just you talking out your ass again……

#SOUNDSLIKEATHROWAWAY

And the Trump supporters thought you said it was good eg student loans…..

If you supported the government paying off debt held by college grads you have no grounds to oppose this idea.

 

[struth]

Trump wants to cut taxes on the working class....Xiden and the Demafacist want the working class to pay off the loans of pro-Hamas, anti-semites that want to kill Jews

That's the difference between the two parties.

#SOUNDSLIKEATHROWAWAY

buying votes is bad, like giving people money for their loans.

you aren't buying anything, when you are simply not taking someone's hard earned money

Amazing how you can't see the difference....

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I will need to see the probability of consequences for funding government via tariffs rather than taxes.

A 100% tariff on all imported goods would not replace what is collected by income tax.

There is no way the math ever works out on the plan to replace income tax with tariffs.

 

[Lesh]

And this would help them so you should be for it.

I’m not against it.

It’s just a fantasy.

Political pandering that will never happen

 

[bendog]

Triggered much? Run a long, I really don't care.

I apologize for the tone. To the extent you see some difference between Trump on taxing tips and Biden on student loans, I double down.

Letting people keep more of what they earn is not 'buying votes.' Giving people money that they didn't earn is 'buying votes.'

Is that so? Then show me that math please.
