VP Kamala Harris Cast Tie-Breaking Vote to Let IRS Track Workers’ Tips so They Can Be Taxed

Dems your candidate is a POS lying snake, what do you have to say for yourselves?

Did you not notice the mention of paying taxes at appropriate economic junctures? "Sales taxes" are for the purpose of financing the necessary infrastructure, for example.

Not really sure what your point is. However the more money poor people have, the better the economy goes. More jobs, more everything.

When the rich enrich themselves, everyone gets poorer, except the top 1%

Trump will tax tips for sure. He will track every transaction to the penny & tax them all.

Sur staff each make $60K in tips.

Cool story, PSYCHOPATH.

She's trying to take credit for the "no tax on tips" idea. But the record shows, she's supports tax on tips.

VP Kamala Harris Cast Tie-Breaking Vote to Let IRS Track Workers’ Tips so They Can Be Taxed​

Vice President Kamala Harris — who on Saturday copied a campaign promise first announced by former President Donald Trump to eliminate taxes on tips — voted in 2022 to pass legislation that allowed the IRS to track down workers’ tips so that they could be taxed.

On August 7, 2022, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act that provided $80 billion in additional funding to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which then got to work cracking down on the service industry’s reporting of tips so that they could be taxed.

Her brainwashed and brain dead voters won't know this information or care to know it. They will mindlessly cast that vote against the 'orange man', keep abortion the way they like it, and 'protect democracy'.

Sure, but it gives you an option this way. If you get real terrible service you dont have to leave a tip or you can leave a small one. In a way it gives workers more incentive to be aware of their customers needs. Of course they want a good tip, so they may try to give you a better experience.

That's a load of bull. I travel to Europe. Service in restaurants is similar that in NA. Difference is when I see a price on the menu, I know that's what I'll pay. No adding sales tax and tip. It also mes you more inclined to eat AT the restaurant. There are many times where we'll take out instead of dining in the restaurant because of the additional 15-20% tip.

Well we know harris will…she literally made it law. So the question is why did she lie and say she wouldn’t?

 

[tyroneweaver]

Why shouldn't tips be taxed?

why are you hopping kamala's problem over onto us?

Then why are you not for NOT taxing tips? People in the service industry tend to be poorer people more so than the Doctors, Lawyers, Insurance Agents, etc. Are you against the government handing out welfare or SSI checks to people? why is it poor people should be given that money, but if a private citizen wants to hand another private citizen 5 dollars, it needs to be taxed?

The intention was to show that the elemental income of a working person is of a different order than capital in circulation. Labor creates wealth. Capital creating capital is not necessarily wealth creation. Taxes on purchase of goods and services are clear and uncomplicated (although they can be unfairly regressive). Companies and employers paying taxes on the "purchase" of the wage-earner's efforts would, thus, be no problem. Not taxing the wages takes the complicated burden of reporting and filing off the employees. Taxes they pay when buying things or for real estate holdings, etc., wouldn't change.

They're as dumb and brainwashed as the Trump supporters.

This is by far the worst choices for POTUS I've seen in my life. With the exception of Obama v Romney.

I'm so so glad I stopped voting for the LO@E's (lesser of two evils).

The democrats didn't want Kamala at all in 2020. She was one of the first to drop out of that primary. And they're trying to make out now like she's so loved and wanted. Yeah na. Which pigs fly.

Because that's only one group that gets to get rich.

You earn more money doing a menial job than you do doing a better job.

It doesn't make sense. Everyone should be equal. I'm not saying poor people shouldn't pay tax. I'm saying they shouldn't pay excessive tax.

Sounds like a complicated way of telling poor people they'd be better off with a system that screws them over. Seems to happen a lot in the US, like poor people voting Republican.

How is that? Nothing screws over poor people than not having cheap energy.
Democrats are all about busting up traditional energy sources for their green new deal. Skyrocketing the cost of everything that needs to be manufactured or trucked in using fuel.

We are seeing right now how this has happened. Democrats also screw over Americans by providing sanctuary cities to foreign nationals, so even criminals cannot be tracked down by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.

Democrats also are soft on violent criminals and those who ransack stores . The result is poorest Americans being hit hardest by these stupid policies.

Cheap energy, gained at the expense of lives and limps of America's poor.

You can say Democrats are "soft on violent criminals" and yet liberal countries in the first world are safer than conservative USA.

And the most violent places are often CREATED by policies like sticking all poor people in the same area, having education funding based on the amount of housing tax you pay, so the rich get a better education....

You can create violent crime, so then you can be tough on it. Look at places like the Deep South, Louisiana and Mississippi especially.

/——/ Think of tips as a gift rather than a salary. I worked for tips in college as a bartender. The pay was about $1 an hour. I took home about $35 a night. This was in the early to mid 70s. Maybe $350 in today’s dollars.

Cheap energy causes poor people to limp? WTF?

People who work in oil fields and rigs make good money.

Cheap energy helps poor stretch their money. Expensive energy limits their options.
