    If she somehow wins, it proves once and for all this is not a “nation under God.”

    Why??? Forget for the moment that one of our principal foundations is the separation of church from state, does anyone truly believe that Trump is the only G-d-fearing candidate? Does anyone actually believe that Trump is a true, believing Christian?

    It would have meant something if she had pushed to do this when dems held both the legislative and executive branches in 2021 and 2022, even if she had been discussing wanting to do this in the last 2 years. It's typical of democrats to think the people they want to vote for them are stupid.

    Harris isn't going to cut anyone's taxes; she is going to let Trump's tax cuts expire and raise taxes on top of that. Forget recession and Great Recession as the US will be headed into another Great Depression with 4 more years of dem rule.

    Great, another one who sees communists everywhere. I assume you view Medicaid and SSDI as socialist programs.

    Are you trying to suggest that we should believe Trump? Or that all politicians lie? (I don’t think Trump has the ideal record on truth-telling)

    Totally. I'm old enough to remember that she was President then.

    Also, why didn't the convicted felon do this when he actually was President, and his party controlled both Houses?

    Always way overstated on Trump, but, yes, all politicians lie from time to time.

    Trump exaggerates far more than he lies.

    Harris, Biden, and now Walz lie far more often than they exaggerate. There is zero chance Harris will follow through on this once elected.

    Yes, you can take it to the bank that the 2018 tax cuts will be extended, permanently hopefully, and Trump will exempt tips. Getting congress to approve tax cuts on top of the above will be another matter altogether. However, it is something Trump is campaigning on and wants to do.

    Bottom line, no democrat is calling for tax cuts or the extension of the 2018 tax cuts which expire in 2025. It's tied to Trump, so the cuts have to go even if the US falls into recession or depression.

    With democrats, Trump is like what Moses was to Egypt, his existence has to be erased.

    Because Trump didn't run on it in 2016 or 2020. Cackling Kamala is only running on it trying to swing back Nevada which likely is too far gone knowing she will not act on the promise and instead will be raising everyone's taxes as she has pledged to do.

    Cacking Kamala copying Trump is an historic first. Everything Trump is a no go. Her pledge to exempt tips from her tax increases is worthless.

    You have lost touch with reality if you believe what you just posted. Trump is a pathological liar of epic proportions.

    Another ironical self own. Man, you must be a parody account. There’s no other explanation for your completely inept self awareness.

    And actually the idea was floated by Phil Crane back in 1982. Page 17948 of the record from July 26, 1982. A time when they actually worked on Monday!!

    Yeah, I know it is worthless in response, but seems worthless posts are what you favor.

    I hate the tipping economy I would gladly pay more if I didn’t have to tip.

    Wishful thinking. The happy meal diet would be good for trump. The supersized double quarter pounder meal is what he gets.

    I’ll just leave this beauty here. I’m guessing you didn’t watch his hourlong press conference with over 100 lies.

    “Trump exaggerates far more than he lies.”

    Waffle House just started a new policy. Tips will now be held by Waffle House and will be rolled into the employee paychecks. The only exclusion to this is if customers pay the tip in cash. Waffle House wants to reduce cash on hand in the restaurants is the stated reason. If tips end up being exempted from taxes, Waffle House will need to rethink the new policy or come up with both taxable and non-taxable income for the workers.

    Right idea wrong execution. There should be no taxes on low wage earners getting by which includes people living off of tips. Why only tip earners? It’s like passing healthcare for prostrate cancer patients but not breast cancer patients.

    With the annual deficit around $1.7 trillion and the national debt exceeding $33 trillion, what, in your opinion, is the proper tax policy? Promising tax cuts will get votes but what is the best course for the country?
