    NOT A NEW IDEA.
    Tax Free Tips Act of 2011, H R. 1139, Sponsor: Rep. Ron Paul, Texas

    The bill never came to a vote during that Congress, but was widely discussed in major media.

    Ron Paul proposed eliminating the tax on tips in 2012 so I guess Trump stole his idea from Paul and if it was such a high priority why didn't Trump propose including it in his 2017 tax cut bill?
    Ron Paul's Vegas pitch: No taxes on tips

    Unless it involves underage women, hookers or porn stars urinating on him, I do not believe any ideas originate with that mental midget.

    She has no original ideas... She hasn't put her platform out because she's still trying to find away to plagiarize Trump's platform without looking like it's a total rip-off. She's completely vacuous of any original ideas.

    Trump’s platform was done with crayons while eating a Happy Meal.

    If she uses Trump's platform wouldn't that mean that she isn't a communist or a radical leftist?

    What it would mean is that you cannot trust one word she utters.

    Still a good bit in a bar setting. A lot of people pay with card but leave cash tips.

    Probably a lot more in Vegas in general too given how much cash is used in that town.

    Part of everything Harris/Walz is doing now is to drive Trump crazy. Exactly what this is.

    Apparently, the large crowds that they are drawing and the fact that the Harris/Walz ticket is polling ahead of Trump is really driving him crazy. If his recent press conference is any indicator he's becoming even more unhinged if that's possible.

    I love his posts on social media basically begging Biden to get back in the race. I can't think of anything more pathetic.

    That's because she can't run on what she has done as senator and VP and can't allow herself to be vetted by independent media which would show her to be the woketard radical leftist that she is and will be as president.

    Trump will reduce taxes, and he will get tips exempted from taxes.

    Harris will raise taxes and will renege of exempting tips from taxes.

    Two campaign promises our lefties can be proud of:

    Embargo arms for Israel and exempt taxes on tips. She will embargo at her first opportunity, and she will not exempt tips.

    Other than railing at big business and promising more strangling regulations and government price controls, Cackling Kamala has zero to run on.

    Epic fail. Project 2025 cuts taxes for the rich and raises them for everyone else and hits parents hard by eliminating the child tax credit.

    It’s a brilliant strategy. Give him just enough rope.

    The Union for restaurant and hotel industry, after Trump made his no-tax-on-tips “promise”, overwhelmingly endorsed Harris (which causes Trump to have one of his meltdowns).

    They would say it was the worst platform ever.
