That’s what Laura Trump was saying tonight on Mark Levin’s show.

Why should I use my already taxed money to give a tip (some here call it “gift) to someone else tax free? Trump is way off on this one. Smart people will simply reduce the percentage they tip to compensate with the net effect being the status quo.

A conservative wants people to keep more of their own money.

A conservative, to my mind, is delighted whenever anyone can do that.

And just wishes to keep more of their own.

Don’t begrudge anyone their own money.

No, he’s not.

The government needs to cut spending, not tax everything to the air we breathe.

He’s right. Cut out taxes on tips. It disincentivizes good service and only rewards people who lie and are dishonest about the amount of tips they make.

Besides, that money has already been taxed a few times, when the person earned it, and when they bought something with it, and now it’s whenever it changes hands? Howe many times do you think money should be taxed?

Besides, why are you concerned with what others do? If you don’t want to tip, have at it. But don’t penalize others who do.

Just don’t tip at all.

Write on the receipt “Sorry, but I don’t tip people that don’t pay taxes”.

And Deep State will be delighted that they’ve succeeded in getting someone else to join in their game of lets-you-and-him-fight.

I doubt AOC paid taxes on the tips she stole from her fellow employees. But she’s no doubt against Trumps idea.

Cash is the only untraceable method. Trumps check will give bank and IRS a path to persecute one.

How do you know the entire bill + tip wasn’t paid in cash? That receipt is not a CC receipt.

How much is a sandwich ? $ 15 ? Drink $ 5 ? 20 x 200 = 4000 dollars . $ 500 is a 12.5% tip ?

The bill he tipped $500 on is for a little over $1K.

I guess you didn’t go to the article.

Now you’re talking.

The poor who pay no taxes should, must, pay their fair share.
