During the 2024 Presidential campaign Donald Trump and Kamala Harris both proposed ending federal income taxes on workers tips. The “no tax on tips” pitch garnered bipartisan support since Mr. Trump first floated it in June 2024, including from Senator Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican, and both of Nevada’s Democratic senators, Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen.

Tips should be optional and workers provided with a livable wage so they don't need to survive off of Tips.

No, because I feel like the companies should be paying their employees enough money to where we don't have to pay more than we already did. Basically, it's about companies not being greedy and paying little amount of money to their employees.
@9YBS5MM4mos4MO
No, but minimum wage for these workers should be the same as everyone else instead of assuming they'll get tips

All service industry employees should be paid a living wage BEFORE tips, and tips should not be taxed.

In my mind the tip is saying like: Here you did a wonderful job at serving me and to thank you have this gift of some money. So yes, they should be eliminated. a gift should not be taxed

Tipping should be eliminated as a wage category, and current tip wage employers should be required to pay the minimum wage to all employees.

Service and hospitality workers should be paid equitably and tips shouldn’t account for a significant amount of their pay. There should be a tax on tips over a certain amount and incentive to report tip income accurately for the employer.
