Tim Ruppert<p>Sure, making tip income tax-free would help, but keep in mind that 37% percent of tipped workers DO NOT PAY federal income tax at all because they earn so little! Rather than offering the crumbs of a limited tax exemption, we can offer real help to those in the service industry. Things like:</p><p>* Raise the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to the living wage rate of $20.00 per hour, and eliminate the tipped minimum wage rate entirely.<br>* Enact universal health care.<br>* Eliminate student loans and tuition for college and trade schools.<br>* Support worker organizing and unionization to protect workers from abuse and unfair labor actions.</p><p>If we're serious about helping workers at the lowest end of the income scale, let's take agressive legislative action that will result in life-changing opportunities for our fellow citizens who work for tips.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GOPFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GOPFail</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/FuckTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckTrump</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>economy</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/minimumwage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>minimumwage</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taxes</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/OneBigBeautifulBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OneBigBeautifulBill</span></a></p>
