🚨🇺🇸NO TAX ON TIPS: HOW TRUMP’S POLICY BECAME A POLITICAL BATTLE

Trump proposed eliminating federal taxes on tips in June 2024, aiming to benefit service workers.

Initially, Democrats had mixed reactions—some, like Nevada’s senators, supported it, while others dismissed it as a gimmick.

By August, Kamala endorsed the plan, then she reframed it as her own initiative.

After Trump’s 2024 victory, Democrats remain divided; some back it, while others resist broader tax cuts.

Despite partisan disputes, the plan has gained bipartisan support in Congress, marking a major shift in how both parties approach tipped income.

A brief history of “No Tax on Tips”:
— Trump introduces the idea. Democrats hate it.
— Kamala steals it. Democrats pretend it’s their idea.
— Trump wins. Democrats hate it again.
Zero principle.
