(2,666 posts)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?

(20,400 posts)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.
