    Or do both.

    Dems want to raise base pay, and the GOP does not, so they keep lobbing things like this over the fence.

    By saying tip won’t get taxed, you knee cap their stupid plan and can focus the conversation on raising base pay.

      Not taxing tips is the government subsidizing businesses that underpay their employees. And makes eliminating tipped wages harder as the tipped take home pay will be that much higher.

        Yeah, but you’re going to lose at the ballot box with that.

        If Harris is smart she will remove Trump’s no-tip differentiator, and go bigger. Go bigger by saying “Americans are sick of 20% and 25% tip buttons on everything. Pay better wages.”
