Dear Kamala as VP Cast Tie-Breaking Vote for IRS to Track Workers’ Tips to be Taxed

Dear Kamala—who on Saturday copied a campaign promise first announced by President Trump to eliminate taxes on tips—voted in 2022 to pass legislation that allowed the IRS to track down workers’ tips so they could be taxed.

This from breibart.com.

On August 7, 2022, Dear Kamala cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act that provided $80 billion in additional funding to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which then went to work cracking down on the service industry’s reporting of tips so they could be taxed.

We the People can be certain President Trump had Kamala’s vote in mind when he announced he would end taxes on tips. He has generally been one step ahead of the radical Left.

Recall, the Regime boasted the Inflation Reduction Act:

[P]rovided $80 billion in additional funding to the IRS.

In February 2023, the IRS released a proposed revenue procedure known as the Service Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (SITCA) program.

The agency described SITCA as:

[A] voluntary tip reporting program between the IRS and employers in various service industries [that would include] monitoring of employer compliance based on actual annual tip revenue and charge tip data from an employer’s point-of-sale system, and allowance for adjustments in tipping practices from year to year.

Americans for Tax Reform’s Mike Palicz told Fox News at the time:

There’s no reason they’d be issuing guidance on how to crack down on this if it was only going to end up being voluntary.

Ultimately, the goal is to go and grab as much revenue as possible and from whoever they can.

Further:

They told us they’re not going to be coming after people earning $400,000 or less.

Well, here’s a new IRS rule that’s focused on bringing in tips from waitresses.

Palicz had also taken to X to express his dismay, writing:

Those 87,000 new IRS agents that you were promised would only target the rich… They’re coming after waitresses’ tips now.

Entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David reacted:

It’s obvious the IRS hired 87,000 new agents to only target the rich. Bad policies have consequences.

Fox News’s Sean Hannity had said:

The IRS, they just announced that they want to start tracking all of the tips that workers earn so that they can be taxed for it.

And remember, this is all part of Biden’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act.

As Reason magazine reported in 2023, the White House touted the legislation’s $80 billion in new funding for the IRS, claiming it would:

[M]ake our tax code fairer by cracking down on millionaires, billionaires, and corporations that evade their obligations.

Citing the IRS’s new SITCA program, the magazine noted, as a result:

It now appears some of those resources will, quite predictably, be aimed at individuals earning considerably less—the Treasury Department and IRS announced plans to overhaul existing programs that track tips earned by service sector workers. 

Again, Dear Kamala claimed during a campaign rally in Nevada on Saturday that she would “work to eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.”

NOTE: Saying “work to eliminate…” is not like saying she would eliminate taxes on tips.

Social media users reacted to Harris’s claims with the hashtag #CopyCatKamala, pointing out that in June, former President Trump announced during a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, that once re-elected president, his administration would “not charge taxes on tips.”

Final thoughts: The nerve of those bast**d communists/globalists, they don’t even care anymore what We the People think about their flip flopping.

Brilliant move President Trump. God speed to you and your staff pulling to the forefront more of Dear Kamala’s insane policies.
