Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slams tip tax break

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

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

Your tax on abortions is still the same.

you asked if there was taxes on abortion. No, the patient pays no sales tax

Little too over the top for me cherry

sure SOC

Because the deficit is over a trillion dollars and we are having a hard time affording interest on the debt which is already over 120% of GDP.

If you were against Biden’s $6.4 trillion dollar monstrosity that fortunately Manchin and Sinema shot down and then Biden’s last big bill that passed, then I admire your consistency but if you wanted those bills to pass and not this one, you are just a partisan hack.

I have been against all but one spending bill in the last 15 plus years or more, with only one exception.

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

When did that happen Marener

Your answer is “Never, I’m a lying sack of vermin shit”.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took aim Wednesday at the $25,000 cap on the “no tax on tips” provision included in the Senate-passed version of President Trump’s “big, beautiful” spending and tax bill.

“As one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam of that text, a little bit of the fine print there,” Ocasio-Cortez said during her floor speech, amid debate on the rule for the revised megabill.

“The cap on that is $25,000,” she said, “while you’re jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the United States, while taking away their [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] program, while take taking away their Medicaid, while kicking them off of the [Affordable Care Act] and their health care extensions.”

The reconciliation package, which advanced back to the House after Vice President Vance cast a tie-breaking vote Tuesday, includes a $25,000 cap on the amount of tips workers can claim in their deductions. The lower chamber’s bill, which was passed in May, did not place a cap under the “no tax on tips” provision — one of Trump’s campaign promises.

Comment:
Most working people would love to get a $25,000 tax break.
AOC reminds me of when Nancy Pelosi called Trump's first term tax cut bill "crumbs" for middle class workers.
The truth is that in left wing economics the working people are plow horses for the government spending.
The Democrats must be fearing that their slaves might escape.

Trump’s ‘no tax on tips’ promise falls flat with Las Vegas workers — and experts have branded it misleading​

Trump famously made the “no tax on tips” promise on the 2024 campaign trail in Vegas [1] — arguably the center of the American hospitality industry — and added it to his One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) that passed earlier this year. But now that the law is set to come into effect for the 2026 tax season, many in the Vegas hospitality industry, which is struggling in the midst of a tourism plunge that affects their tips, are discovering that it won’t quite deliver as promised.

That’s because, much like Trump’s “no tax on overtime” promise from the same OBBBA, the idea of “no tax on tips” sounds great on paper. It even received bipartisan support, but it saddles the nation’s roughly 4 million tipped workers with tax rules and qualifying technicalities to navigate, with a payout that’s not as generous as they’d hoped.
