I am honestly curious who was really pushing this? Unless I missed it I don't think I heard anything about no taxes on tips until both candidates suddenly supported it. So just seems like it came out of nowhere. If we really are going to stick with tips, I think it's fine. Maybe it will fix some of the issues on the workers side temporarily. But we honestly just need to move away from tipping in the US. Give everyone a livable wage and increase prices slightly. I am already paying 15/20% more thanks to tipping so there is no harm in just increasing the cost of the item, likely less than I am paying now since it would be evenly split between everyone instead of just those that tip.

Trump heard a waitress in Las Vegas complain about tip taxes, so he proposed it: https://www.npr.org/2024/08/11/nx-s1-5071144/no-tax-on-tips-campaigns-trump-harris https://www.npr.org/2024/08/11/nx-s1-5071144/no-tax-on-tips-... > Trump has been campaigning on the "no tax on tips" policy since June, after a Las Vegas server told him the government was taking too big of a cut from her tipped wages. Then Harris was forced to match. That’s pretty much it. There’s no economic analysis behind it.
