OT and Tips

Every single House Democrat just voted against No tax on tips and No tax on overtime. Shocking.
Serious question, why would some income be treated differently? (Kamala I believe copied this promise on the campaign too so this isn’t an attack on just Trump). Just feels like straight buying votes to me. I certainly work long hours too but will still pay full taxes because I’m salary. Will pay out the a$$ on my bonus too.

We just got ours a couple weeks ago and ouch on that 40% in taxes. 😞

We can certainly bond over hating taxes. But bonuses aren’t taxed differently than ordinary income. Withholding may be different, but the net taxes are the same regardless.

Will return to bitch about the taxes on my bonus next month lol.

Kamala was literally hyping that very issue as a reason to vote for her less than a few months ago. Now the entire party is against it?
I didn't approve of that either but she felt like she had to do it in order to compete in Nevada, in particular. I don't like that type of pandering no matter which side does it.

I was in Vegas a couple of weeks before the election. There were Trump campaign billboards all over touting no tax on tips. Vote buying right out of the dem playbook.

Are you saying Dems are known for erecting billboards all over Vegas that promote free give-aways?

Kinda like flooding swing states with illegals??
 
Or you could say they care about other people.

By making them dependent on government handouts? No. That’s not it. If you truly care about someone, you don’t enable. I care about people and am all about investing in job training programs, basic personal finance education, nutrition (food deserts, education, etc), trade programs, etc etc. Things that when executed properly, should lift people out of poverty.

I think it is immoral to support programs that encourage government dependence and keep people from achieving independence.
