Whether or not they should be taxed at all is a separate discussion. My question is why do you think tips should be considered a different kind of income than wages? Saying it’s because tips typically go to lower income people is a cop out. It’s all income. Tell me how it’s different.

I've been saying this "no tax on tips" thing is a terrible idea. Glad to see I'm not alone.

Good! Give me your argument for why tips should not be taxed as regular income.

100%

Unfortunately it's also supported by Dems (Kamala Harris & Nevada Senators for example)

Exactly! The part I can't figure out is why some Dem politicians are also for this (ie: Kamala Harris and Nevada Senators)... oh yeah, probably the same reason.

Why not? I'm legit trying to understand why anybody thinks this is a fair idea. Tips should be counted as income just like the rest. Frankly I'd prefer they get paid a living wage instead, but to propose not taxing tips as if it's some special type of income seems ludicrous to me. What am I missing?

This is the same thing I've been thinking and saying. Why does this idea have so much life—even among democrats? There have been bills for this introduced by Dems and Kamala Harris also campaigned on it.

And it shouldn't! Nobody should be for "no tax on tips" (except those who don't believe in paying taxes). Don't you think it would just be a backdoor for abuse by people finding new ways to classify income as tips?

Eliminating tax on tips a ridiculous idea. Include them as income & simply tax the income! Is that not how it works? I'm so confused by this proposal & can't understand why it has bipartisan support unless it's simply to get votes in NV—or maybe politicians want to claim their income as "tips" too??

You quoted Diana Bond saying her paycheck should be $1500 but after tax she gets $200. There must be something I don't understand about tax on tips cause I don't believe there's any food server in america paying 87% tax on their income. What am I missing here?

He actually started making a great point at the end. They SHOULD investigate and expose the dirt on EVERY member of congress!

Stay classy Kentucky!
