VP Kamala Harris Cast Tie-Breaking Vote to Let IRS Track Workers’ Tips so They Can Be Taxed

She's trying to take credit for the "no tax on tips" idea. But the record shows, she's supports tax on tips.


VP Kamala Harris Cast Tie-Breaking Vote to Let IRS Track Workers’ Tips so They Can Be Taxed


Vice President Kamala Harris — who on Saturday copied a campaign promise first announced by former President Donald Trump to eliminate taxes on tips — voted in 2022 to pass legislation that allowed the IRS to track down workers’ tips so that they could be taxed.

On August 7, 2022, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act that provided $80 billion in additional funding to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which then got to work cracking down on the service industry’s reporting of tips so that they could be taxed.
 
Because then that cost will be passed along to you by the employer but the service will start to SUCK because the employee gets nothing from you and could care less about what you think of the job they did! Use your head, Frigid! This is common sense stuff. I know you on the left don't DO common sense...but that's why States like California are turning into shitholes that nobody wants to live in!

Well that's not true. If they want a job, they'll do a good job or they'll lose their job. Just like other non-tipped jobs. Restaurant/bar owners would not keep employees who don't do a good job.

:dunno:
 
Why shouldn't tips be taxed?
Perhaps for the same reason wages should not be. work/labor precedes capital, as Lincoln expressed it so well. When buying or selling in the capitalist market, taxes are mostly appropriate. At the fundamental level of earning a wage, other principles apply.
 
Sure, but it gives you an option this way. If you get real terrible service you dont have to leave a tip or you can leave a small one. In a way it gives workers more incentive to be aware of their customers needs. Of course they want a good tip, so they may try to give you a better experience.
To Insure Proper Service doesn't really work anymore. Even cashier workers seem to expect a tip just cause.
 
We thought Biden was incoherent but nobody knows whether Kammie wants to tax tips or not or if she wants to offer medicare to illegal aliens because she won't freaking tell us.
