During the campaign President Trump announced that, if elected, he’d revoke tax on tips. Then Kamala immediately announced that, if elected, she’d revoke tax on tips. Not an original thought in her head. Serious about crackers. | |||

I have been avoiding Walmart for a long time now anyway, and only go there when I absolutely have to have something that they stock and isn't readily available elsewhere, even if the other places charge a bit more! One recent example was a week or two ago when I needed to buy a pair of deep-cycle marine batteries for my daughter's RV. WM was far cheaper than anyone else around here for a basic pair of batteries that the motor home requires for things like starting the generator. I got both batteries for $98.00 each plus tax, whereas the next cheapest was over $150.00 each. I hated to do business with them, but my daughter couldn't afford the other options! My daughter also gets the insulin and syringes that her oldest cat requires daily from WM as they have some kind of deal where it's only $25.00/vial which lasts several months. Anywhere else we priced for the same exact thing was over $800.00/vial, and that simply isn't an option! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming... ____________________________ Bill R.

The no tax on tips to me was always as meh so what. Most people making cash tips never report it as income anyhow. I guess if an establishment is tracking tips and adding it to the employees 1099 that's different but I'm not aware of any place we go to or service we use that does that. We always tip in cash. Even if we use the card in a place we never put the tip on the card we just leave cash as a tip. Now if the no tax on over time were passed that would have a much larger impact.

My understanding for say a waiter when he filled out his tax return, there better be a substantial amount of tip income relative to his salary or it''d draw scrutiny from the IRS. They have auditors who are expert in this and could look at hours worked and menu prices to come up with a pretty close number as to what the tip income would have been.

When I last worked in a restaurant, it absolutely was reported and it didn't matter what the employee wanted to report. 8% of your shift revenue was assumed to be your tips. I don't remember how they adjusted for the tips you had to share with the bar, runners, etc. But if you rang up $1000 in revenue for a shift, $80 was reported as your tips and it showed your paystub for the taxes witheld.

As word drips out about the shifting shape of the Big Beautiful Bill, I am increasingly distraught at the smell of this sausage. One New York congressman (Lawler) has the power to get rid of, or at least massively increase the cap on, SALT limits. The much more important issue, from the standpoint of our fiscal crisis, is that the Republican majority is going to "phase out" rather than immediately terminate hundreds of billions of dollars appropriated (or maybe authorized, not completely sure) to further the malignant goals of the laughingly named "Inflation Reduction Act". Phase out as in--over decades. As best I can tell from reading various sources, these cowards are giving in to the lobbying efforts of the recipients of this boondoggle. On the Senate side, some huge number of Republicans voted AGAINST putting DOGE's savings into law. What is a Republican voter to do in 2028? The answer is: vote in more and better Republicans. Hold the feet of the incumbents to the fire. Insist that we all voted for Trump's agenda and that our congressional representatives support it. Trump has not let us down. The congressional Republicans have let us down--because there are not enough of them, so a blue state RINO gets to "please his constituents" by pushing through a big barrier to solving our looming fiscal nightmare. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Sjtill, this whole SALT thing really pisses me off. Basically, these tools in these blue states that vote for their overlords who impose onerous taxes on them, get to have the rest of us subsidize them by writing them off on their federal return. Can someone tell me how this is even ok? | |||

Until then call, email, write your congress/senator who is a Rino, if they start getting thousands of requests maybe they'll listen. Such as on the changes to the NFA removing SBR and Suppressors... https://x.com/Mrgunsngear/status/1925214735076671688 | |||

I don't think we can vote in better republicans - we need to simply vote in MAGA and displace a republican a few at a time to the point where the mainstream republican is extinct | |||

Somebody just got called into the principal's office. It's amazing the SA President can show his face in the White House. I guess when Ramaphosa has to beg for money, he has to be prepared to do whatever. . | |||

This is what I voted for.... HOLY SHLIT: A reporter RUDELY interrupted President Trump's meeting on the genoc*de of white South Africans... Trump FUMES. This happened directly after Trump played the videos of the white genoc*de over in S. Africa. NBC: "The Pentagon announced it would be accepting a Qatari jet to be used..." TRUMP: "WHAT are you talking about? You know, you ought to GET OUT of here! What does this have to do with the Qatari jet?" "We're talking about a lot of other things. It's NBC trying to GET OFF the subject of what you just saw [white genoc*de]." "For you to go into a [different] subject [...] Go back. You ought to go back to your studio at NBC because Brian Roberts and the people that run that place, they ought to be investigated. They are so terrible, the way you run that network. And you're a DISGRACE. No more questions from you." SMACKDOWN. https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1925232411572367546 | |||

I was watching that on Merit TV. President Trump had a stack of papers covering farmers killed. When the NBC person started mouthing off, they should have been removed. Disgraceful! 41 | |||

I'm not linking to any of the many negative news stories about this, claiming Trump ambushed Ramaphosa or dissembling the damning videos of black RSA racist gatherings. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||
