You would think our resident congressional bartender would be well versed in our labor laws on wages in tip jobs.


She's the perfect stereotype for a member of Congress with this. She leaves a manual labor job to take office, then actively stands against legislation which would help those in her former industry and does so solely because the legislation comes from the other side of the aisle.

No tax on tips is silly. It's taxable income.

I agree, but I’m sure they would target the law at service workers in the hospitality industry or something like that.

Just extend the TCJA cuts or even better don't include a sunset. Not sure why we need to dole out more goodies to specific groups.

The only thing I can think of this being a possibility is college football coaches getting “tips” from the boosters. Alabama would do it first. 120k a year from the university, 10.6 million in tips from boosters.


Not just tips would be exploited, overtime too could be the next exploit.

CEO makes minimum wage on the first forty hours but makes millions in overtime pay each year. One idea to deter this would be to still collect the employer portion of taxes due on wages, and still collect Medicare and Social Security portions on that OT pay. Or limit it to no more than 15 hours per week and a max of 350 dollars in wages per week.


I would hate to be someone in payroll or accounting to figure out this mess.

I believe I was tip only as a bartender in college. I made 2.37 an hour as a sip employee.


These people are so damn dumb.

Also irs has rules regarding compensation having to be reasonable.

One he’d have to disclose the added tip. So don’t use him.

Not quite how it works. The service tech is not getting paid the service rate (say it’s $115/hr)

Tech gets $30/hr on the check another health insurance and retirement. The $30/hr for the employer costs another 25-30% for employer matched SS/medicare, Sate and federal unemployment ins, workers comp ect

The rest goes to the company for operating costs, overhead, and profit.

The only thing that would be affected is the base $30/hr. Could pay him $10 and tip $20. But good luck hiring a tech at those rates.

Wrong. A tip is a gift. Not wages.
They’re limiting it to the service industry. And I’m for any avenue that has less taxes for people that actually work

Yea it’s incredibly stupid talking point no matter how you slice it. CEOs aren’t going to somehow become hourly take one wage for 0-40 and then book 40-80 at their real rate. That isn’t close to how it works and the ceo would never make what he could as salary doing that.

Reminds her of her previous job being a hooker and alleviating the law and caking it a “tip” for her service.

She’s a joke!!!
