yeah I swear turning it off actually activates the really bullshit flrced typo mode too
This is dumb. Stop incentivizing a tipping economy. Fuck tipping.
Cool. Now let service workers get paid a living wage. Then set the minimum wage to a calculated value based on the rate of inflation and regional cost of living, instead of the idiotic fixed value system. $15/hr is at least 10 years too late.
That doesn’t make any sense, it’s part of income
Just another note, Biden has also mentioned he would sign this into law. This would be even better for Dems than Kamala’s promise. For an election cycle, it would basically delete any value of Trump’s promise to tip earners.
I’ve seen “no tax on tips” on Trump billboards on my area. Clearly Trump thinks it’s an important issue. Having made them waste money would be a hilarious win, also preventing undecided voters from turning out for Trump on this single-issue is a clear strategic design.
I’m thinking in the political game theory, it makes sense because it’s going to force Republicans to either support it or oppose it, either of which will make them look silly as trump supporters.
The revenue losses would need to be made up in another way, which would ideally be closing loopholes and more dependably taxing the wealthy. That is assuming that the segment of revenue from tips is even substantial enough to matter.
Anyway it’s going to force the Trump camp to respond. And pretty much every time you do that it provokes more unforced errors from them because they are clueless.
This sounds like a reason for companies to rely even more on tipping to compensate their workers… How about instead we make the companies pay the taxes on worker income earned through tipping? Then we can finally do away this ludicrous system we’re all pressured to abide by.
