Agree, tips are just another form of income, there's no legitimate reason it should be excluded from income tax when other sources aren't. If tips are excluded, then why isn't my Christmas bonus? It's just a giant tip paid all at once after all.

This no tax on tips idea was a political ploy to win Nevada. It cannot be defended based on policy as it excludes one group from the tax the rest of must pay with no rationale justification. I get why people who get tips like it, but why would anyone else?

Boob bait for bubba as Bill Clinton used to say.

I know, right? Do you know how hard the accounting becomes when you have to give the government a percentage of your "Jelly of the Month Club" membership?

No, Jeff, taxes are theft by government. Let’s get rid of as many taxes as we can. We got along fine before the IRS was started in 1913.

No tax on tips. Abolish the IRS.

The federal government can fund itself with tariffs as it did before 1913 .
