    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.

                You’re hell-bent on trying to change what I’ve said and you can quit that shit already…

                • first and foremost - get rid of tips
                • second - pay a living wage
                • raise the bottom tax bracket substantially
                • fine the fuck out of tax cheats
                • get rid of the urban legend that a significant number of folks getting tipped are getting rich on it

                    You are really, really bad at reading comprehension and only slightly good at stirring the shit. I have consistently said we should increase the size of the lowest tax bracket so that everyone low pay gets to pay lower taxes.

                    Are you going to continue to try to make hay out of someone having a guaranteed pay of $2/hr? What is your end-game here?
