      And, if we get rid of tipping and pay them a fair wage then all of the smoke and mirrors / abuse goes away. Further, maybe you shouldn’t be paying much if any taxes on 60k/year…

      Quit falling into the logic trap that this is a fight between those who don’t get enough. The rich need to be paying a hell of a lot more and the poor need to be paying a hell of a lot less.

          I’m not mixing anything. I am very consistently advocating for:

          • Eliminate tipping entirely
          • Pay people a living wage
          • Make the bottom tax bracket quite large

              I provided both answers… I love how you’re here to defend the rich.

              salaried employees knew that tipped employees didn’t pay taxes on everything they got and would work against them when negotiating to renew their collective agreement instead of joining hands and fighting against the employer.

              So the salaried employees were the rich in this case. Fucking petty-ass losers. So worried that a peon might get paid that they had to fuck themselves in the process.

                  So fucking report them to the IRS to make them pay their taxes. You’re talking about tax fraud right now. You’re also talking about the exception and not the rule. Most tipped employees have a guaranteed wage of around $2/hr and don’t end up making anywhere near a living wage. Quit trying to fuck over the tipped workers and instead go after the corporate bosses and the billionaires. They’re the problem… not your tax fraud buddy sitting next to you working for tips.
