    Now release the fucking Epstein list since the votes have been counted.

    I think it’s set up so they can pass this in the Senate as a reconciliation bill. No cloture needed if so.

    Still didn't cut spending near enough

    Gop likes pork too

    I would vote no on no taxes for tips.

    I fucking hate tips. Tax them 80 percent

    Although I guess I can tip less now since more goes in their pocket.

    What’s 75 percent of 20? 15? Lovely. Maybe this does work out.

    I'd rather end the tax on social security first- and then worry about tips an OT.

  • georgiaduckgeorgiaduck Member, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 2,268 Swaye's Wigwam

    My issue with no tax on tips is that most servers aren't going to be affected by it. No tax on OT would be a positive (but only in private sector jobs)- one of my brothers is a driver for UPS. His December paycheck would get a serious bump.

    No tax on SS would benefit about 40M people living over the age of 65- something like half of them rely on SS as main income.

    I can tell you that the SS tax bite is real if you're still working

    I tip on good service at asit down restaurant or for food delivery, where an actual service component exists.


    The cashier at Taco Bell is not getting 20% to put fast food on a tray for my 10-year-old.

    No tax on OT in construction is going to make a lot of union guys red pilled who weren't already.

    SS taxes are absolutely silly. About the only objection I have is that this should get tied to SS reform to make it less objectionable and more feasible.

    Cali tip culture is insane. These same assholes lobied for "living wages" for food workers and now the default tip curve in a lot of these places is 20% 25% 30% while I get shittier service than ever. Just goes to show the entitlements crowd is never satisfied. I'm with @Pitchfork51 tax this shit at 80-90% so it goes the way of the dinosaur.

    Something like $25 billion/year out of $4.4 trillion comes from tipped income. It’s such a small percentage it’s not even noticed when running $2 trillion deficits.

    It’s just good politics keeping that money in the hands of people who are almost all service industry workers who, in many instances, are living paycheck-to-paycheck. They an use it a lot more than some BigDawgFan handing out condoms in Mozambique.

    H.Con.Res. 14 (119th Congress) does not include provisions for “no tax on tips” or “no tax on overtime.” It’s a budget resolution setting fiscal targets, not a tax or labor law, and Trump’s proposals on tips (and unmentioned overtime) would require separate legislation.

    Fucking idiots.

    Got the headline Ernie

    Same as the GOP just voted to slash Medicare and medicade headlines

    They didn't

    Fucking idiot

    And Trump wants no taxes on ss and ot. Lipo

  • KaepskneeKaepsknee Member Posts: 14,894

    sounds like we need to get it passed so that we can see what’s in it.

  • RaceBannonRaceBannon Member, Moderator, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 109,583 Founders Club

    Nothing has really changed with congress

    This is where the GOP can still snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

    They won't cut spending enough for one thing

  • huskyhooliganhuskyhooligan Member, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 5,700 Swaye's Wigwam

    I don't tip in Seattle anymore. They make just under $22 an hour.

    I went to a chain haircut place Sundee because I didn't feel like driving 16 miles roundtrip to the place that's actually really good, and calling first, and working around their schedule. The woman who cut my hair looked like a really poor man's (woman's) Megan Fox with some face tat and some borderline anorexia. Anyway, it was $26 ($20 about five years ago). I used my debit card. The minimum tip suggestion was $6. That's over 22 serpent. F off with that. Tipping is FIFTEEN PERCENT. It's not 21, or 18, or 27, or 42. My conspiracy theory is corporations push this nonsense so they can underpay workers. I will give 20 or 22 percent if the waitress or waiter is really really good, or the co-ed bartender gives me her number.

    Its not even corporations- guy in my neighborhood owns a restaurant that has a small store in it was well. He brags that he can keep his wages low because folks tip not realizing that part of the bill is for grocery. But he wears a mask in his profile pic so all good.
