President Joe Biden now supports eliminating taxes on tips — though it’s unclear when he arrived at that decision… GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump first proposed axing taxes for tipped wages during a June 9 rally in service-heavy Nevada. More than two months later, Vice President Kamala Harris followed suit during her own Nevada rally, saying that “it is my promise to everyone here, when I am president … to eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers” KJP says Biden supports no tax on tips after Kamala stole the policy from Trump. The Biden-Harris admin actually planned to use the IRS to CRACK DOWN on tips. Activist Dom Lucre: Karine Jean-Pierre is announcing that President Joe Biden now supports eliminating taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers. On February 7, 2023, Joe Biden announced a plan to crack down on tips by using the IRS to increase the taxation. This is possibly the most disingenuous press brief of the year.

Tips started to be taxed in 1982. I believe it was Vetoed and then the Veto was over ridden.

Shouldn't this be viewed as a policy win? Trump managed to convince his opponents to embrace his position. They're all looking at the poll numbers and making the same political calculations.

Biden-Harris IRS Targeted Tipped Workers with Heightened Scrutiny - Americans for Tax Reform
The Biden-Harris IRS created a new program last year to put the screws to tipped workers despite the Biden-Harris pledge against increased IRS audits on Americans making less than $400k per year. This IRS crackdown on tipped service industry workers was announced just months after the Biden-Harris administration and congressional Democrats spent $80 billion to […]

LTC David Brown - It wouldn't be the first time a politician flip-flopped. Vance flip-flopped on supporting Trump. Trump flip-flopped on supporting cryptocurrency, TikTok, and even Kamala and Hillary (he donated to both). I don't think her change on this issue will alter anyone's opinion of her.

LTC Kevin B. - problem is she has flip flop on just about everything but hasn’t put any policies into writing. Her casting the deciding vote put hard and fast force behind the IRS going after tips until the law can be corrected. Didn’t she think through what she was signing?

LTC David Brown - I try not to get inside her head (or any politician for that matter).
Her policy positions will eventually be posted. I understand the opposition wanting to see them (so they can exploit them), and I understand her not wanting to put them out there just yet (so they can't). In due time you'll see them.
I suspect timing has something to do with it. Her policy positions would have been well developed and published if she had gone through the primary process. Given the late stage she entered the race, she was faced with three options....1) continue all of Biden's policies (bad choice), 2) slap something together (bad choice), or 3) deliberately evaluate where she departs from Biden, and then finalize her positions (best choice, IMHO). It's certainly not optimal timing, but very little is optimal in this particular election.
