Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slams tip tax break

[Marener]

It never occurred to you that cutting spending might help?

Has it occurred to Republicans?

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

Has it occurred to Republicans?

You're the one advocating not cutting any taxes.

 

[Marener]

You're the one advocating not cutting any taxes.

You’re the one advocating adding trillions of debt.

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

You’re the one advocating adding trillions of debt.

Where did you get this from?

 

[Marener]

Where did you get this from?

Is that not the case?

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

Is that not the case?

So you make the allegation and when questioned, you try to put me in a position where I have to defend myself. Clever.

All I did was ask you if cutting spending never occurred to you. This was based on your comments here. But then you deflected to Republicans so I pointed out that you were the one advocating against tax cuts. You deflected again with a baseless allegation that I am "advocating adding trillions of debt", an allegation you had no logical grounds to make for two reasons:

1.) Nothing I said suggested any such thing.

2.) Cutting spending would help reduce the debt.

Raising taxes (or at least, not cutting them) might also reduce the debt but for some unfathomable reason, Democrats almost never suggest cutting spending.

Wasn’t horse-faced Sandy Ocrazio-Kotex a bartender, herself, prior to becoming a twatwaffle politician? One would have to assume that she likes paying taxes. I wonder how much she pays in taxes now that she is a wealthy professional assclown?

Republicans never suggest increasing taxes. Has it ever occurred to you that raising taxes would reduce the debt?

Thought a waitress. Other waitresses said she used to steal their tips.
Ex co-worker no fan of Democrat darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

You were right a bartender stealing tips

I'll answer your question when you answer mine.

I'm conservative by nature which means that when money becomes tight, reducing spending should always be the first choice. I don't think raising taxes should be the first choice considering that 1.) We're taxed too much already and we're being taxed on money that was already taxed. And 2.) Our tax money is being spent on far too many frivolous and wasteful programs.

Democrats only solution for them is raising taxes.

Riddle me this.

Which States pay the most taxes and are run by What Party?

 

[Robert W]

zero

Surprising you pay no taxes on your income.

 

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

Surprising you pay no taxes on your income.

I pay quarterly and you

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I believe the this is the Stopped Clock's shining moment.

Yes, AOC is right about this one . . . sort of.

She's wrong because the Democrats certainly never wanted to let people earning tips off the hook for taxes, and she's wrong because no Democrat would have ever voted for a bill called "Big Beautiful" by Donald Trump, so the opinion of Democrats is as a fart in a windstorm. She should have brought this up when the bill was being negotiated. That might have helped her sister waitresses.

But . . . she's right in that the bill should have stated no tax on "income" derived from tips. Not a $25,000 deduction for people who make tips, just no tax on tips. That's what Trump and his allies have been saying, not a 25K deduction. Tips do not count as taxable income. One line, plus a definition of "tips."

It's absurd that some fifty-something waitress at Denny's gets a five dollar tip from a family of six that ordered seventy dollars worth of food, and the IRS spends money and effort to take a cut of that five spot. If she works five days per week including holidays, for a year and averages 100 bucks per day in tips, she would make about $26,000 in tips. She would only have to pay taxes on 1K, but why make her do the paperwork? Especially since the standard deduction will likely put her at zero taxable income anyway.

Who does exceed the twenty-five thousand mark on tips enough to owe significant amounts of taxes? Men's club dancers? You know they don't report those twenties stuffed in their g-strings. Maitre D's of expensive restaurants? Maybe. But the paperwork wouldn't be worth the flutter. Not to mention that everyone knows they just have to report under 25K to pay nothing.

hey you almost copied me. BBB is adding to the deficit and the MUSK DOGE is a FLOP. Need to raise more $$$.
yep raise taxes.

The BBB is a ******* disaster and adds to the deficit! Anyone with common sense would NOT vote for this.
I told you MAGAs repeatedly, you are NOT going to cut your way out of this
To reduce the deficit requires cost CUTTING and RAISING taxes.

 

[Robert W]

Why did you say zero taxes paid by you? I pay taxes on merchandise, fuel, household things like utilities, but no income taxes.
