Dummies complain about waitresses no longer being taxed on tips while they encourage the waitreses' Medicaid enrolled boyfriends watch TV

[healthmyths]

Poor waitresses, i.e. people who get tips are considered by the dummies as bad as billionaires who don't pay taxes, now under the new bill.
BUT these dummies are all upset that the following adults who ARE ABLE-BODIED don't want to work but watch TV be required to work to get Medicaid!
How truly dumb are these people?
"Able-bodied adults on Medicaid: Approximately 7 to 10 million able-bodied, non-working adults without dependents are estimated to be enrolled in Medicaid. Data from December 2022 showed about 13.9 million able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) on Medicaid.
Time spent watching TV/gaming: Some reports indicate that non-working, able-bodied Medicaid recipients spend a significant amount of time on these activities, such as an average of 4.2 hours per day. Another report claimed 125 hours per month.
Gender: In 2023, around 46% of Medicaid recipients were male.
Important Considerations:
Work Requirements: Discussions about Medicaid often involve work requirements for able-bodied adults.
Data Limitations: The available data, while informative, does not provide a precise figure for the specific group (able-bodied, TV game-watching males on Medicaid). Further detailed analysis would be required to get a more accurate count.
These statistics are part of a broader discussion about Medicaid and its recipients, and they do not capture the full complexities of the individuals enrolled in the program.
Congressman Aderholt Backs Speaker Johnson: New Data Shows Able-bodied Medicaid Recipients Spend Over 120 Hours a Month Watching TV and Playing Video Games Instead of Working

Press Release
Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today issued the following statement in strong support of Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding waste and abuse in the Medicaid system, following a new report exposing how non-working Medicaid recipients are spending their time.

“Speaker Johnson hit the nail on the head when he said Medicaid shouldn’t be going to ‘29-year-old males sitting on their couches playing video games.’
The American Enterprise Institute’s new analysis confirms it: many able-bodied Medicaid recipients who aren’t working are spending their time — not looking for jobs — but glued to screens.”

According to the AEI study, non-working Medicaid recipients without children spend an average of 4.2 hours every day watching TV and playing video games.
That adds up to 125 hours per month — time that could be used for working, volunteering, or gaining job skill

Don't be 'concerned right now for the taxation short fall. That's comes later for some other politician to take the heat.

For now the fascist regime can benefit from millions of workers expressing their thanks at the ballot box!

The waitresses tax break on tips won't amount to much more than pocket change over a year, and the reduction ends in 3 years. Billionaires got a much as hundreds of millions in tax breaks, and theirs is permanent.

$2100 is chump change to us hon!

The working class is the Demo's enemy too.

The "big, beautiful bill" features a new tax break for older Americans who pay taxes on Social Security income. But there's a significant catch.

Why it matters: The break leaves out the poorest seniors — who already don't pay Social Security taxes —and the very rich ones, too.

How it works: Both the House and Senate bills include an increased tax deduction for tax filers age 64 and older. In the Senate version, the new deduction is $6,000 for individuals and $12,000 for couples.

• The deduction starts phasing out for those who earn over $75,000 ($150,000 for couples), and phases out completely at $175,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples, in the Senate version.
• The break expires in 2028 when President Trump leaves office, as do a few other White House priorities in the bills, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on auto loan interest.

What they're saying: "This amounts to the largest tax break in American history for our nation's seniors," per a report out earlier this week from the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

Yes, but: Most seniors — 64% of them — don't pay taxes on Social Security, according to the White House's own analysis.

Pocket change? You are a filthy liar. I have not met one waitress who thinks her money is pocket change that she dont need.

democrats always give proof that they want us to be slaves to the democrat party.

democrats will be happy to force waitresses to need food stamps, welfare.

this is pure democrat Marxism, forced labor for food

The thing is, the working class's worst enemy in America is the working class.

Funny how that could work in any country>

It's just really a dead issue. The boss can stop claiming a small portion of the worker's tips in trade off for this.

Now the boss can claim a bigger portion!

This is how fascism benefits the working class!

compared to the millions given to the rich, it's not very much.

 

[Donald H]

Sure.. It's always been well known but maybe not expressed in that way? In order for Trump to gain power, there are a couple of reasons.

The working class has to believe that a corporate billionaire is their friend.

and

The working class has to be made to believe that the working class are a bunch of lazy bums who are looking for a free ride.

Haven't you expressed the same feelings yourself?

 

[elektra]

This is how fascism benefits the working class!

no, how facism works is the democrats propaganda convinces you only the rich benefit. Now you ignore the fact that a waitress needs the money she labored for.

fascism is you dictating that waitresses must labor as slaves and receive food stamps and public housing in return

How can you be so wrong ? Waitress depend on tips.

BTW: Do you have a link with specifics of billionaires get tax breaks ?

And please not some satanic press quote that says: Billionaires get tax breaks.

In all my time posting on message boards one LIB responded to that question with a link. And tho I would not agree with him 100% it did CLEARY show one incident how the rich were beating the Tax Man with a loop hole.

Many waitresses already need food stamps and welfare. A small temporary break is something, but not much when you consider it ends in 3 years, and the millions given to each billionaire is permanent.

The corporate billionaires are democrats. Give us a list of the Ten top billionaires in the USA. They are all democrats.

Who controls the most money, trillions, all democrats

You prove my point, a waitress is over taxed by democrats and now needs food stamps and welfare from democrats.

sound like democrat marxism

Democrats are notoriously lousy tippers anyway.
They really have nothing to ***** about about because they don't contribute anything of any worth to the tip wage totals. I know through acquaintances that work in the political fundraising field that Elizabeth Warren for instance there's an extremely cheap pitch when it comes to leaving a tip at a restaurant. Atypical Lefty.
