Trump pledges to eliminate taxes on tips for service workers during Las Vegas rally


Former President Donald Trump's "hot streak" continued in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the former president made a "big promise" during his rally Sunday. Just miles from the Las Vegas Strip, Trump pledged to eliminate taxes on tips for service workers if elected in November.

"This is the first time I've said this and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you're going to be very happy, because when I get to office we are going to not charge taxes on tips, people making tips... It's been a point of contention for years and years and years, and you do a great job of service, you take care of people, and I think it's going to be something that really is deserved," Trump said.


Talking points

1. I'm not sure if this will buy Trump the election by itself. (It WILL flip Nevada to red because of all the tipped employees in the resort industry that pays that state's bills.) Thing is, are tipped employees a large enough demographic and can they be counted on to vote?

2. It won't flip Florida red because Florida is already red. It might make Trump's victory in Florida even larger since a lot of those tipped employees who are registered Democrats will vote for Trump just on that issue.

3. Trump can't do this without Congress, so it's VERY important to get as many Republicans elected as possible, since the DemoNazis are tax crazy and will screw the entire country just to keep taxes high. By the same token, DemoNazis voting AGAINST this will have given their Republican opponents a winning issue for the mid terms.

Convicted Felon Trump also promised:

- I will build a wall and Mexico will pay for it.

- You will be getting a new healthcare plan, the best.

- Farmers in California can have as much water as they want

- Cure Covid with Clorox injections.

This new promise is one more he's not going to deliver on. The President does not order tax regulations, and it shall be done. Congress does that, and there are plenty of reasons why this one is not going to pass.

You think a significant percentage of Vegas workers are able and willing to vote?

@Vin53 So you are opposed to tax cuts for the middle and lower class, eh?

@sunsporter1649 First of all, don't ever think you can guess my intent, your feeble mind can't fathom it. Secondly, all of trumps tax breaks broke for the rich corporations and billionaires.

He is grasping at straws in an attempt to draw in as many of the uninformed / unintelligent voters as possible.

He also claimed that people/customers would tip better if the tips were not taxed...... YEAH, RIGHT!!
@Threepio he's ahead of your blue guy in the polls.

@Threepio What do you call paying off student loans if not pandering?
You know this is 2024....right? Legally elected was 7 1/2 years ago. Ass kicked was 3 1/2 years ago.

And leftists are opposed to this. Know why? Because most don't pay taxes. Most lefties consume taxes.
@NoThanksLeon It's true. If you're a Leftist or a Liberal, the government sends you a get-out-of-taxation pass.

I think the demographic of service workers who survive on tips, while small, will be helped immensely in their current struggle to survive by Trump's promise...IF he is able to keep it.

I have heard that a great many of that group try to HIDE their tips from the IRS. They are taxed on 20%, and if they are tipped at 10% or 15%, then the taxes eat up their tips...so the ONLY way for them to average out the loss is to hide tips larger than 20%.

@4meAndyou Simple, do what the kindly old dictator biden does, just a stroke of a pen and it's done
When you lose by over 7 million votes, not even the corrupt electoral college can save you, though they did give it a good try.

Any 'tipped employees" are undocumented and might not pay taxes!

🤔.......does anyone really believe what any politician says?.........From either party.......
Sounds so important. Sounds like you'll accept whatever.
And you think he will keep that promise. Fascinating.

Are you in the market for a bridge?

@CorvusBlackthorne @CorvusBlackthorne Why wouldn't he? Tax cuts help the economy. He and Reagan (and JFK) understood that. His tax cuts brought in record numbers of manufacturing jobs from the far east. I don't think Trump would be able to eliminate the tax on tips with just an Executive Order. He'll need the Congress to rewrite the US Code.
@Reason10 Yet in 2017, he passed legislature causing periodic tax increases on the poorest tax bracket of Americans every two years, beginning in 2021. Why is that, I wonder? Why would he scheduled Why would he schedule tax increases on the poor to happen during the next administration after he was voted out?
