"Raising a Glass to Ron" - Ongoing...

I added a note to this site: http://www.make-better-tips.com/

:)

If anyone here has a Facebook account (I don't and won't), there are a couple of web pages about tipping that accepts Facebook comments that could use a mention about the bill:

http://www.ehow.com/how_6367286_better-waiter.html

I suggest:
Ron Paul's Tax Free Tips bill and would eliminate income taxes for tips!

I might. mention this. Please don't leave info if you tip less than 15 %. Not that less than 15% is always wrong, but the idea is to make a good impression. I think back to my waiting days. People people would leave religious tacts and no money to go with it. Lets just say they didn't work.

Sincerely,

Slutter McGee
 
A note about organizing potential "Pub-Crawls" - It will be most effective if core teams consist of light/non drinkers and those who hold their liqueur well... jus' sayin'... :P

Damn, you just disqualified a large portion of this constituency! I'll just have to make sure someone from the "core team" is strong enough to carry me along... :)

You're saying that waiters/waitresses should be happy with their $3-4/hour wage and shouldn't be paid a gratuity?

I hope you're not a repeat customer anywhere....Rule #1: "Never mess with those who handle your food."

if they dont like their 3-4/hour job they can certainly quit. by the way min wage in korea is 4,000 won about 3.60 and the waiters are doing just fine.

Thanks for the links. I just commented on both ehow.com articles with the Tax Free Tips Act facebook page. Its picking up fans quickly, and is now big enough to have a personalized URL:

http://www.facebook.com/TaxFreeTipsAct

I'm planning on making some business cards with the new URL, mostly based off the content in ronpaulhawaii's fliers from post #14. Please share it if you can.

NICE! :D

I like using both sides, a quick blurb like,

With H.R.1139, Dr. Paul highlights the unfair burden of our tax code, while providing actual solutions that would directly benefit workers and our economy.

Or something like,

I can gift up to $13,000 a year to perfect stranger, tax-free, but I cant even give you a buck without the government taking a cut. What is up with that? - Google Ron Paul!

What else?

As is is great though for first printing :) Thanks for posting and welcome

I will be at the HQ closer to 1p today, as I will be doing a WABC 770 radio interview at 11:20a from home. The interview will last about 7 or 8 minutes and the topic is tax-free tips. Tune in!

Somebody should setup some platic type business cards with this information on them and sell them in packs of 100 or something. I would definitely buy them and leave them everywhere I go and I also eat out alot and bars too

Anybody thought about this yet? I would definitely be interested in purchasing and distributing several packs of these.
 
As an avid reader of the forums for the past several months, I have decided that this is the perfect opportunity for me to help restore the republic. The "Tax Free Tips Act of 2011" is a genius piece of legislation that needs to be pushed and catapulted into every restaurant in the country.

This Friday, I am mailing a letter to every restaurant in my city, Danville, Virginia. I am simply stating that every restaurant needs to be contacting their congressman and get this pushed hard. I am also including a PDF http://www.maresco.us/wp-content/upl...-Act-Flier.pdf These will be pre-cut and on very nice card stock. My hope is that restaurant owners will at least make these available to their employees. This is a win win for waiters/waitresses/busboys/bartenders and restaurant owners.

Maybe this idea will allow others to follow suit and get the word out. This could help resonate much positivity into the campaign and help Dr. Paul gain a ton of momentum with new younger voters.

You know that's a great idea! You could hit everybody in the restaurant with one card! You better believe they'll share THAT info with their co-workers! Something like, "This tip is supposed to be for you because of your service, not for the government - If you agreee, support Ron Paul's bill."

What a nice, easy way to get his name out there to folks who probably don't pay that much attention.
(Just don't be a lousy tipper when you do it.)

Anyone want to take a stab at creating a little card?

2nd this motion, the revolution needs to make it happen in every state!!
 
We earned more press for this

http://www.plumalibrenews.com/news.php?action=fullnews&showcomments=1&id=2258

The Ron Paul NYC Liberty HQ conducted a tax-free tips event at the renowned Natives Restaurant - Theater - Bar in Queens to promote federal legislation that would exempt gratuities from all federal income and employment taxes. The bill would affect bartenders, servers and workers of other occupations whose tips are currently taxable according to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) criteria.

...

"As a proud American of Colombian descent, I am deeply appreciative that Dr. Paul promotes initiatives that, once enacted, will bring needed relief to overtaxed, overburdened workers in communities like Jackson Heights, Queens," said Pierre Alcantara, referring to Congressman Paul as "doctor" because Dr. Paul is an OB-GYN by trade who personally delivered 4,000 babies.

"Now is the time for Hispanic Americans and others to remain engaged on this issue of tax-free tips so that millions of workers get immediate, significant relief. In Washington, we have a costly federal government that bails out its union and corporate cronies but never assists middle-class households. The situation as it stands is wrong", added Pierre, who is the Ron Paul NYC Liberty HQ visibility coordinator.

...

The response to tax-free tips advocacy has been remarkable. Other grassroots supporters of Dr. Paul now are emulating the Ron Paul NYC Liberty HQ's tax-free tips pub-crawls in New Jersey, New York's Nassau and Suffolk Counties, Orange County, California, St. Paul, Minnesotta and Atlanta, Georgia. With respect to tax-free tips legislation advocacy, the HQ also has inspired activists in the important Republican presidential primary states of Iowa and Nevada.

For more information, please contact the Ron Paul NYC Liberty HQ by calling ... Or, send an email to nyc.liberty.hq -at- gmail.com or taxfreetipsnyc -at- gmail.com

About the Ron Paul NYC Liberty HQ:

Located in NoLita, Manhattan, the HQ conducts fully independent online and on-the-ground initiatives to promote the legislative agenda of Ron Paul. The Ron Paul NYC Liberty HQ is not affiliated with the Ron Paul Presidential Campaign.

Even better, this was just from a press release and not written by the reporter who came down. So we are expecting more to follow

Go Grassroots!
