I’m impressed that she addressed the very first thing I thought of:
If elected president, Harris would work with Congress to craft a proposal that mandated an income limit and applied strict requirements to prevent hedge fund managers and lawyers from structuring their compensation to take advantage of the policy.
Idk about you guys, but I’m sick of every single business in the country asking for tips now. It’s the employer’s responsibility to pay wages, not ours. If she’s leaning harder into tips, then tips we pay should be considered non-taxable expenditures, since we’re obviously paying employee wages. The employer doesn’t pay income tax on the wages they pay, so why should we?
Tax the 1%?
Oh, so we’re going to make it even harder for waitresses to retire, huh? I was excited to vote for Harris, I really hope she reconsiders this terrible policy.
I worked for the food service industry for almost a decade and never met a waitress or waiter that declared their tips, let alone declared enough to retire on via social security.
There’s almost no chance this will effect the retirement of any waitresses in the U.S.

Terribly absolutist of you, old chum.
Yes, the situation is shit, but that shouldn’t mean accepting things which make it even worse.
The US tipping culture is literally from trying to have legal slaves. Not even wage-slaves, because those require wages.
We have to report the cash no matter what you tip on the card. Who told you otherwise?

Even with her considerations for abuse I feel like it’s a terrible idea compared to treating all income as taxable income.
