- RobinL 1y agoBecause you're artificially favouring one specific industry, at a cost to all other industries. And because the implication of your argument is we should never tax anything because that's a benefit to both the consumer and the business
- pnt12 1y agoWell, the money doesn't appear with magic, so someone is paying: the government (forfeiting taxes) or the consumer (more pressure to tip). To me, the bad part is the tax reductions only appear in behavior I don't agree with: high overtime and tipping (when it's semi mandatory). I'm not American, but this is also showing up in my country.
