Diners across America are writing a powerful message on their server checks: “Vote Trump, No Taxes On Tips!”
This grassroots trend began after President Donald Trump, at a high-energy rally in Las Vegas last week, promised to abolish taxes on tips for restaurant and hospitality workers once he returns to the Oval Office.
“This is the first time I’ve said this,” Trump announced, “and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy. When I get back into office, we are going to eliminate taxes on tips. We’re going to do that right away, first thing in office.”
“So those people that have jobs in restaurants, whatever the job may be, a tipping job, we’re not going after for taxes anymore. This will be ended,” he added.
That’s ridiculous! Why should servers be exempt from paying income taxes while everyone else has to? That wouldn’t be fair. Just because it’s called tips, it’s still income and should be subject to taxation just like any other income.
