YEAH!!!

Its about time that those Billionaire Waiters get their tip loophole closed.

And you right winger conspiracy nuts who thought that those 87,000 new IRS agents were going to go after the middle class and working poor instead of the ultra wealthy like Biden promised, i bet you feel really silly now.

All part of Biden’s plan to go after the cash, barter and underground economy. They will compare reported income to standard of living then impute an income if they think the numbers don’t add up.

Yes he did. Servers in the 80s weren’t reporting squat. The compromise was the 8% of sales rule.

Later, after credit cards were used more, businesses force reported the charge tips on the cards. By law they had to because the money came out of the till.

I only tip in cash. The recipient can report it or not, none of my business.

Same here.

Who do the waiters/waitresses vote for? My guess is same as the billionaires.

Love it.. 10-1 most waiters/waitresses voted for Brandon. However, it’s still wrong.

Now THAT will save the economy!

Wait staff will pay down the national debt!

And the govt will be able to keep spending!

They use programs to analyze and then to target people. Then they send letter demanding payment of back taxes. Most people just pay up because it’s too much trouble to fight it.

Yes! You can give up to $10,000 a year as a gift I think.

It’s obvious none of those bass turds on Capitol Hill ever worked as a waiter or waitress. When are they going to “crack down” on the turds in the Congress stinking up the joint so bad that they have to spend a fortune on air freshener.
