#PresidentTrump is in Las Vegas having fun, talking about not taxing tips, the most prominent example of a politically attractive soundbite bumping aside sound policy. His vague plan may cover payroll taxes as well. If Trump intends that no Social Security taxes be withheld from tips, his plan could threaten the retirement security of tipped workers. encouraging tips could exacerbate their financial woes, substituting unpredictable largesse for steady wages. And exempting tips from tax may not help, as TPC estimates that more than 40 percent these workers will not benefit, because they pay no income taxes.  Meanwhile #Americans want to know why the cost of food, rent, gas and healthcare are going up not down? #GOP??
