House passes Big, Beautiful Bill

Every Democrat voted AGAINST keeping the tax cuts and maintaining a secure Southern border, but the Republicans have succeeded.

Now on to the Senate. Hope the RINOs don’t derail it.

Destructive Democrats in the Senate will definitely try hard to hurt America again.
We have several destructive Republicans in the Senate who we expect to vote to hurt Americans again.
 
So now you guys like passing pork bills in the middle of the night that no one has read?

Gotcha.


Uh nope. I despise deep state Congress. But if President Trump can herd them along and he says this is best he could get, we will have to take it. Maybe more good is coming? I know you’ve been almost 109% wrong on every issue (and Lie) since 17’
 
Not easy. Say you got ten workers, three shifts of various sizes and a tip jar? Just SHUP with your 8% malarkey. Nobody tracks “sales by each hourly worker”. Shut it down, free the business frim worrying about your pablum you giant ape.
Obviously, you have never waited tables.

The IRS requires employers in the food and beverage industry to allocate tips when the total reported tips are less than 8% of the establishment’s gross receipts.


Damn skippy they keep up with each employee's sales. And if they have shared sales they use a formula based on hours worked and sales per hour per employee. I mean the owners have to keep up with those things, otherwise, those servers would walk out with half the damn receipts.

So, I go back to college to get my MBA. The big push, I got divorced, started waiting tables on the side, and then started making more money than my full time gig. I could go back to school and pay my way. Working for a chain, I transferred to Raleigh. Big restaurant, multi-levels. High volume.

So, first night on the floor. Power section. I take a triple seating and then haul ass to a terminal to input the orders. The other servers stop me, hold off on putting those in for a few minutes, we are all going to put our orders in at the same time. I am baffled, why do that to the kitchen. Then they explain, if everyone puts them in at once sometimes the entire system crashes. Then they got no record of our sales, it all goes to paper tickets. The servers were walking out with hundreds of dollars a night. Believe me, I put an end to that shit.
 
They’ll be fine. You guys thought Obama care was going to solve the problem
The ACA did solve the problem. Much of it through expanded Medicaid, and that is what is being cut. Along with those additional subsidies for those purchasing health insurance on the exchange. They will see premiums skyrocket in 2026.
 
How many million will lose their Medicaid coverage? What's your number?
Aliens have that risk. Citizens don't have that risk. No Government program is not loaded with waste. Elon has found some fraud as well.
 
I don't think you are getting the point. Few tipped workers make enough money to pay income taxes. And the same goes for those blue collar workers working a little bit of overtime.

The bigger question, will tipped workers pay FICA taxes on tips? And if not, do those tips go toward calculating their retirement benefit? If they are not then those workers are getting the raw end of the deal.

For overtime, well those rules are a changing. Exempt salaries starting at around thirty grand, half of what it is now. Calculating overtime on a monthly basis instead of a weekly basis. Work sixty hours this week, twenty next, no overtime.
If they are already where they don't pay income tax because of low income, what is your beef?
 
The hubris of the left is a sight to behold. The workers you deride are blue-collar workers in restaurants, factories and generally struggling and you object to part of their income going untaxed?

You must be a gubment employee.
I'm not on the left, but I oppose it because it's just more "free shit". Buying votes with favors to different interest groups.

I had 2 step children work as waiters and my own daughter worked as a waiter. My daughter went to college and now is a RN. My step daughter got her degree and is a school official now. My daughter made a killing as a waiter. I will ask her about stacking up orders to profit waiters. My stepson who was the last waiter put his earnings into Real Estate and retired early.
 
??? If they didn't pass this bill and the 2017 tax cuts expired, it would have been largest tax increase in history
If republicans were going to make them permanent when they passed the tax cuts initially, WHY DIDN'T THEY?

FYI-Illegals do not qualify for MEDICAID....
But their native born American citizen children do. Now you know what all this about birthright citizenship is really going after. If we can declare these children born to immigrants, especially illegals and those seeking asylum, as non-citizens, Medicaid is off the hook.

Right, yet they collect on Medicare and unless a state stops them also from Medicaid.

Medicaid also rules once the receiving party dies, the state will collect from the estate to pay the state back.

GWB created temporary tax cuts for the rich in 2001/2003.
In 2010/2012, Obama was in a situation where he had to force the Democrats in Congress to extend those tax cuts for the rich.
That's why.
 
Its unfair to tax payers who earn wages and not tips.
Here is a major problem of income taxes. Were the feds funded by sales taxes, all of those complaints such as yours vanishes.
