      Considering he wants to cut corporate tax rates to 15% (reminder the TCJA scam cut them from 35-21% already) surely we’ll all just start making more money including tips! It’ll definitely work this time guys!

        When asked why 15% by a group of business leaders he was meeting with, he replied “it’s a nice round number.”

        That’s it. No economic reason, no tax justification, “number look good.”

        Surprisingly, some of the business leaders didn’t like that he was an idiot.

      If he was ever going to follow through with it at all (doubtful), it was a hollow pledge that wouldn’t have affected most of the tipped income or helped most tipped workers in the country anyways:

      Now things that Harris proposes like re expanding the child tax credit (refundable meaning paid out even if the person doesn’t pay taxes) could provide a huge boost to workers with kids, for just one example. Or for another, Trump’s proposed tarrifs costing each family $1700 a year on average. Or another, Harris continuing to appoint labor friendly individuals to the NLRB, helping to fight employers engaging in union busting activities. Easy choice.

    Nothing Trump says even matters. He’s going to simply enable his corrupt cabinet and his loaded congress and his loaded courts pass all the project 2025 shit they want while he plays golf.
