This sounds pretty liberal. A tax cut in name, but a hand out in practice because of extremely targeted nature.

Excellent pandering by Trump! It's a freebie that wouldn't cost me a dime!

Doubt it would ever pass though.

Not possible, liberals have never met a tax they don't love.

But it's a genius move by Trump to lure the younger womens vote to the Republican side.

liberals want to raise taxes on wealthy and middle class so they can gift the money to hourly workers and those who don't pay effective taxes.

This achieves a result favorable to wage workers in hospitality industries, and industry that struggles to find good people, without attacking the middle class and wealthy.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

I don't tip servers.

I give them a non-taxable personal gift of less than $16,000.

Good Trump. Hopefully it's something he can make happen if he gets elected.

I'm sure many people who's primary job is in the hospitality sector would love to have more of their money at the end of the day.

Also, for those who don't know, leave a cash tip. It'll work the same for them until/if Trump's idea becomes a reality.

This... A voluntary tip is gift and therefore not taxable (if under 16K). A non-voluntary tip is a payment for services and should be taxed.

Doesn't have to pass if the executive branch elects not to audit tips. Not endorsing this but that's how Democrats usually play the game with selective enforcement of laws.

Cash tips are still taxed. Now if they aren't reported correctly that's a different issue but that would be tax evasion even if it's really difficult to catch. Still cash tips aren't exempt from income taxes.

No, but a tax code that's been greatly reduced would be a good start.

Tip in cash and it's their issue whether to report it or not. I know that's not always the most convenient thing but I do it when I can

Yes. Trump threatened to not enforce the individual mandate in Obamacare before McCain actually allowed that bill to pass.

Any tax break not offset by taxing someone else (bad idea) or spending cuts (good idea) will just add to the budget deficit and we'll tack it onto our already-too-big national debt. Do you think those spending cuts will materialize? If not, then this is functionally just debt spending like our entitlement programs.

Of course you would oppose a flat tax. We can't have the fundamental fairness of everyone paying the same rate?

Great idea. Only needs some limit on how much. Otherwise everyone will start getting around taxes by declaring income as tips.

If you think letting people keep more of the money they earn is a leftist idea, it makes sense that you deny being a leftist.
