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

[konradv]

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

Giving people more money is buying votes. Trump just realized you get more votes by giving money to the less wealthy, than the 1%ers he usually favors with tax cuts. The difference is that he doesn’t really care about those people or plan to follow through. It was a throwaway line.

Strange...

Earlier you posted this.



So removing the taxes owed on tips--which certainly will go to members of the 47% you identified above will do nothing as far as tax relief goes--according to you.

Perhaps I will buy you a mirror so you can debate yourself.

Removing taxes on tips will mean the meals are lower priced and this means restaurants business soars. A win win. The Feds can reduce costs other ways such as stopping that pier at Gaza for Biden's pals.

Get real

It’s truly sad you can’t see the difference between earning money, and getting a handout.

It explains why you are a dembot though

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.

We have had presidents who that would easily work for. But once we had FDR, the shit hit the fan.

Okay maybe if I type more slowly, the waiter/waitress EARNED those tips by doing their jobs. The tips by law are part of their compensation. By reclassifying those tips as gifts from customers, which they actually are, requires no contribution from anybody. The money isn't the government's money. It is isn't your money. Allowing them to keep more of what they earn and simplifying the bookkeeping required involving them helps them and takes nothing away from anybody.

Trump wisely knows that private money spent contributes infinitely more to a stable and thriving economy than government money ever can and allowing people to keep more of what they earn contributes to a much higher standard of living than can otherwise be obtained.

Going to college IS work. Don’t be fooled by the “uneducated”.

I would ask you to explain but we both know you can’t. Take a nap

Haha it’s a privilege. You pay for.

Expecting others to pay for it, is selfish and well idiotic

They shouldn’t need tips.

#PAYALIVINGWAGE

Those who receive higher wages and aren't allowed to receive tips don't earn nearly as much as your average waiter or waitress in a popular restaurant. Which is why the competent people working in the industry do not want to do away with tips.

Why do you care whether the employer or the customer provides a person with a good income so long as they earn that good income? And employers who don't allow tipping generally have a harder time hiring and keeping good people. Those who can't earn a good income in those kinds of service industries generally quit and go find something else to do.

How does someone else’s taxes effect my meal, unless you’re saying this will give management the excuse to lower the regular pay rate?

And many wonder why service is poor!

I’m not against it.

It’s just a fantasy.

Political pandering that will never happen

The only reason it won’t happen is the Congress lacks the political will to do it. There’s no Constitutional hurdle or precedent to overcome.

I think the left honestly believes it is all government money and the government should have total power to take it and use it any way the government wants. They trust neither the people to look to their own interests nor the free market capitalist system to produce more prosperity for all.

Because of their inability to think critically and their apparent reading and math deficiencies, unless they work for the government as employees or contractors, they can't see or understand that their own prosperity comes from the private sector and not from government.

They cannot grasp the concept that a government big and powerful enough to give you what it says you need is big and powerful enough to take everything you have.

They think a cut in the increase of what is spent is less money spent than before.

They think allowing people to keep more of what they earn is taking something away from them and the cognitive dissonance there is they think government giveaways like taxpayers money paying off student loans does not take anything away from anybody.

They think allowing the private sector decide what is important and what people need is irresponsible.

If the employer has to pay a high wage to its employees, it must charge enough for the food to cover their cost which isn't just wages but also the larger cost in their FICA contributions, unemployment insurance, work comp and liability insurance. Relieve the employer of much of that burden and they can charge less which encourages more customers and more customers pretty much reliably result in more tips and higher earnings for the employees.

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 […]

www.lp.org

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

"Against the use of force".

That is not synonymous with "against taxes".

It won’t lower meal prices one dollar
