1. I'm sure the cooks and the dishwashers are going to be real happy.

The servers around here make huge tips, and the rest of the staff makes crap, yet the ones not making any real cash get taxed?

2. And tips will still be taxable.................

3. Isn't it possible that people will tip less?

I typically tip higher because of taxes. I don’t want the tip decimated. If they’re not taxed I guess I can stop tipping so much?

6. I've heard that this is already happening, w/ the economy getting a little rougher, people are tipping less. A shame,

since a lot of these people really depend on their tips.

4. And yet I guarantee you that somewhere this very moment

There's a smartassed pundit typing out another lazy hot take about how Dems have "lost touch" with the working class 😒

I don't get it -- Do working class white folks really hate social safety nets that much? 🤔

5. Supreme Court ruled that money given after an act is a "tip" not a bribe

The only reason they’re pushing “no taxes on tips” is so the rich can bribe politicians. Not only will the bribe be legal, it won’t even be taxed either.

7. I read an article that said bonuses paid to CEOs and Wall Street financiers are considered tips

so the hundreds of thousands of dollars they will receive will not be taxes.

Can't find the article but will post if I do.

9. Bribes to Politicians, too.

Clarence “Free Ride” Thomas and Sammy “the Bull” Alito saw to it personally.

8. Now THAT's NAZI!

Un-woke, jawohl!
