I dunno how this idea came about. We should be ending tipping culture, it's ridiculous and a failure for most workers. Regardless, tips are income obtained thru employment, so why should they get special exemption?
"I am the ONLY Candidate who has ever called for delivering relief to our wonderful Service Workers by NOT TAXING THEIR TIPS," he wrote, though former Representative Ron Paul touted a plan to stop federal taxation of tips while running for president in 2012.
I'll forgive the plagiarism, if he'll follow through.

Why didn't Trump do it the first time around?
And how would he do this unilaterally?
Next up: Hunter Biden accepts tips instead of payment for his artwork...
Taxing income that isn't part of W2 withholding puts an extra burden on workers just to comply. I'm betting that back in the day before most people started adding the gratuity on the credit card statement, the overwhelming majority of tips simply went unreported. Anyhow the income tax itself should be abolished.
I delivered pizzas for a couple years, back in the late 90s
Payments were almost universally cash, and so were the tips.
And I paid all required taxes on that income...![]()
And now people use CashApp, PayPal and Venmo for all sorts of things like yard sales or they neighborhood kid cutting lawns. And....after promising to go after billionaire "tax cheats"....Biden decided to go after people making small payments on those apps. Which could be another reason why 20% of African Americans are currently saying they're not going to vote for him.
And how would he do this unilaterally?
I am heartened by the increase in small businesses going "cash only".
20 percent of the black community not voting democrat is pretty stunning, politically.
Operation Warp Speed, $8+ Trillion in a single term, Federalized Local LEO Immunity and Nationwide Stop and Frisk…
I think that is an incredible trade off!
Thanks for that tip!
LOL...He really could cure cancer, and you'd bitch about it.

It’s not his job to cure cancer, nor is it government’s.
But he could and just might possibly build out a complete and total totalitarian nation, BoR be damned, and you’d be thrilled with that and would even throw in an extra $2T.
