Only President Trump Will End Taxes On Tips
August 23, 2024
Today, Team Trump unveiled a new ad exposing Kamala Harris' brazen lies to American workers on taxing tips.
Kamala plagiarized President Trump's "NO TAX ON TIPS" proposal, but she has absolutely no intention of following through — as evidenced by her record of grifting every possible cent off hardworking Americans to pad the government coffers.
President Trump unveiled his "NO TAX ON TIPS" proposal in June as a way to boost working families in the service industry:
- As many as 5.5 million workers rely on tips to offset their ability to earn the prevailing minimum wage.
- Women make up more than two-thirds of the tipped workforce — of which nearly a third are parents of kids under the age of 18.
- Tipped restaurant workers have the highest rates of single mothers of any occupation, while roughly 89 percent of tipped workers have less than a college degree.
- The poverty rate for tipped workers is more than double the rate for overall workers.
- Tipped workers are more likely to be on food stamps and Medicaid than the overall workforce.
President Trump's proposal was immediately endorsed by the Culinary Workers Union.
Kamala, meanwhile, has worked to siphon every last dollar from hardworking Americans who rely on tips:
- Kamala's supercharged IRS — for which she cast the tie-breaking vote — introduced a new tips "reporting" program to crack down on "compliance."
- Kamala has championed eliminating the federal tip credit.
- Kamala opposes the current tip system that allows tipped employees the opportunity to earn well above the minimum wage.
- Kamala eliminated the tip credit for minimum wage workers who are federal contractors.
- Kamala wants to make it easier for IRS agents to stack up questionable penalties against taxpayers by expanding approval authority.
President Trump wants workers to keep their hard-earned money — and will actually do it, unlike Kamala, who hadn't once mentioned the proposal until she was installed as the Democrat nominee.
She's a liar and a fraud who will take, take, take from Americans until they have nothing left to give.
