Why are "make housing affordable again" and "no tax on tips" the only two policies important enough to print on the background behind him? Is AZ overly concerned with the pay structure of restaurant employees?
I don't understand the "no tax on tips" angle, like everyone on yhe US is tired of being asked for tips everywhere, how many people they think are going to be engaged by that?
It's a tax loophole for the rich to use tbh.
I could see how consulting firms and lawyers become tipping professions eventually, where every job is below minimum wage while getting the rest on untaxed tips.
It's also a loophole for people like Trump to take advantage of because a tip isn't owed, it's voluntary. So he'll be able to get away with not paying his bills by promising some tip and then reneging on that promise for whatever reason and then only take the reputation hit rather than that plus maybe a lawsuit if they pursue it.
Yup.
