Harris Pledges to Eliminate Tax on Tips

Vice President Kamala Harris has pledged to eliminate federal taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers, a proposal originally introduced by Donald Trump. This move has sparked accusations of policy plagiarism from Trump and criticisms of hypocrisy, given Harris's previous support for IRS measures to track and tax tips. Despite these controversies, the idea of abolishing tax on tips is highly popular among voters across various demographics. Additionally, President Joe Biden has now expressed support for the proposal, further fueling discussions on its political implications and potential impact on federal revenues. As Harris seeks to define her own policy platform, she faces scrutiny for both borrowing ideas and addressing previous inconsistencies.
