Eliminating taxes on tip income would greatly benefit lower-income workers who often rely on tips, allowing them to keep more of their hard-earned money.
Critics argue the proposal does not tackle the underlying issues with tipping, particularly the historical ties it has to slavery and the significant economic dependency it creates.
While appealing politically, there are concerns about potential abuse of tax eliminations, leading to wealthier individuals gaming the system by classifying their income as tips.
The current federal minimum wage for tipped workers stands at $2.13 an hour, exacerbating the issues related to the instability of income based on tips.
