@mott-the-hoople saidI tip when I'm in a poor country, where the person is unlikely to be earning enough to live on. To my mind it's begging forced on poor workers by mean/greedy/poor employers, and inappropriate and patronising, in first-world countries where a decent minimum wage level is mandated. In the case of the US, I can't comment because I don't understand Americans at all.
so you dont tip?

@mott-the-hoople saidHey idiot the proposal is to crack down on greedy EMPLOYERS who count tips that EMPLOYEES get as part of their wage but do not pay employer tax on that aspect of their wage bill.
All you libs support biden no matter what he does. Now he has made all of you liars.

These EMPLOYERS are ripping off their EMPLOYEES and the tax payer. Of course the GOP and Fox News are on the side of the greedy cheating employer.

They want to figure out how to keep track of and account for the tips people get, so they can pay taxes on them.
@jj-adams saidYeah that’s EXACTLY what the article admits to whilst disingenuously trying o put an anti Biden spin on it for its moronic MAGA gop audience. But hey it works every time so you cannot blame them.

@jj-adams saidEven if true, so what? Tips are income and taxes should be paid on them.

It's less of an issue now that most people pay with cards anyway.
@kewpie saidA child of Bernie, are you? You decide how much is 'enough to live on'. Enough for whom, Kewpie? The waiter, or are you including her 3 children? What is wrong with you people.

Here, everyone, is a liberal who decides how much money a person needs to live on. What else did Kewpie say, I stopped reading after 1st sentence

@no1marauder saidIt is a given that taxes should be paid on income, I do not understand the point of view of the liberals here on this issue. Are you saying that taxes should not be paid on tips, which is income? If you say not, tell us where you 'draw the line' on when someone has to pay taxes on money which they receive?
Even if true, so what? Tips are income and taxes should be paid on them.

Anyway it’s a legal duty to pay your taxes at the required level that’s like saying that they’ve hired 87,000 cops to persecute criminals you guys are making less sense by the day
