Harris 2024


Recommended Posts

Using Trump no tax on tips policy is risky. 
 

Maybe that wins her Nevada if it’s the only reason, or dealbreaker, for why someone was voting Trump and/or not voting for her. 
 

It also comes across as extremely weak.  Nevermind the obvious question.. why hasn’t she done this in the past 3 years?  Why doesn’t she just do this now?

Because tips are taxable income in the tax code.

Congress would have to change that.

You might as well ask why Mike Johnson's House hasn't approved a bill to make that change.

By the way, it's horrible policy, whether it's coming from Trump or Harris.

The point being, you’ve been in power for 3 years.. why haven’t you brought this up?  You’re in power now, why don’t your bring this up?

 

The broader point being, she’s somehow able to run as if she’s not the VP to a nonexistent President.  Aside from coming across as weak, that your first policy proposal is a Trump policy proposal.. she’s now opened the “why don’t you do that now” / “why haven’t you done this” line of attack .. which they’ve desperately needed an in to start making.

She knows it's popular and since she was given basically nothing to do as Vice President she can basically cut herself off from Biden.

Border security 

 

Mass deportations 

 

Tax cuts 

 

All also popular.  
 

 

What she’s doing is exuding the absolute worst of the politicians where this type of nonsense was immediately seen as a disqualifying phony.

I agree but it's working.  Tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations are not popular though.

I don't know, some might say blatantly stealing an idea from orange Hitler might indicate that her previous tactics of running from her record, hiding from the press and ducking debates isn't actually working.

Yes give up all of your freedom because you don't like the guy on the other side. Makes sense. You can think Trump isn't a good guy and still be against socialism, open borders, unlimited govt spending, endless wars, etc. We just had a terrible 4 years under this regime and you want 4 more because Trump lies and steals just like every politician in history, he just does it out loud.

I guess if you swallow all the bull sh it Trump is spewing and basically think Obama ended the world, Biden burned up the dead world and Harris will re-burn it, then yes, vote Trump to save the world Obama and co. destroyed, sure, makes sense to vote for the guy who won't destroy the destroyed world

I don't think Obama destroyed the world I would have voted for him. I do think they are using "everyone hates Trump" to install radical changes on the left that nobody would otherwise vote for. I'm not even 100% sure that Trump isn't in on it. He was a lifelong Dem and funded some of these people. How do we know he's not throwing the election to help them do this whacko stuff? The only proof I have is that they keep trying to put him in jail but maybe even that is just a dog and pony show

This is dumb. Tips were always taxed. Not reporting tips is tax fraud.


She could phrase that better .. point being, part of the IRS plan under her administration was to focus on making sure those tips were reported more accurately & putting pressure on the gig economy to pay their share.

I wouldn’t even say that:

 

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-introduces-new-service-industry-tip-reporting-program#:~:text=The intent of the SITCA,Employer designed TRAC (EmTRAC)
 

It’s an optional program to help employers who tip make sure it’s done correctly. If not done correctly the program helps them abate penalties.

 

Either way it’s dumb. Everyone should pay their fare share under the tax law how it’s written.

 

Passing no tax on tips probably wouldn’t generate a ton of cost, but it would make a ton of people compliant with the tax law since that’s a spot a lot of people don’t comply with.

Same argument was used against Obama, right?

 

What "radical" changes have happened under him and Biden?

No.  Obama was on the primary ticket and was voted in.  Even nominated at the convention. 

 

Harris.  Not so much

Mandating an experimental vaccine by using OSHA to force it on people, otherwise give up their career, was pretty radical.

 

Sending taxpayer funded US aid overseas to fund abortion, is pretty radical. 
 

As someone who pays a *** ton in taxes as a business owner, hiring 87,000 IRS agents that, shocker, ended up going after the people they said they wouldn’t, is pretty radical. 
 

Allowing this country to have a pseudo-open border for 3 years, is pretty radical. 
 

Whatever you think of Trump, using the justice system to go after him as a political opponent, is pretty radical. (And yes, Biden clearly was tangentially involved in this - it doesn’t happen without his administrations blessing)
