Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, claiming its no tax on tips provision is a scam that benefits only high earners. She highlighted that the plan imposes a $25,000 cap for tax-free tips, excluding anyone earning over $150,000. Ocasio-Cortez pointed out the negative implications for low-income earners facing higher taxes and cuts to essential services like Medicaid and SNAP. She emphasized the adverse impact of the bill, describing it as a deal with the devil that jeopardizes healthcare and basic needs for minimal tax benefits.
The no tax on tips provision has an annual limit of $25,000, which does not benefit those making over $150,000 per year.
Ocasio-Cortez's contention raises concerns about lower-income earners facing higher taxes while also facing cuts to vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP.
Republicans are extending tax cuts from 2017 while simultaneously increasing the tax burden on those earning less than $50,000 annually.
Ocasio-Cortez criticized the bill as a deal with the devil, arguing that it sacrifices healthcare and basic needs for a small tax benefit.
