At a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday, Harris backed the elimination of taxes on tips for hospitality and service workers, a policy first endorsed by Trump, funnily enough, at his June rally in Las Vegas.

Unfortunately for Harris, you can’t just steal other people’s ideas, especially when your own record can betray you so quickly.
The Biden-Harris administration’s Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced in February 2023 that the agencies would implement a new service industry tip reporting program allowing the federal government to force service and hospitality workers to declare their tips as income. The Service Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (SITCA) program works by allowing the federal government to monitor employers’ point-of-sale systems to “improve tip reporting compliance.”
Kamala Harris’s first big policy idea is to steal Trump’s “no taxes on tips,” when she backed Democrats’ $80b for more IRS audits including on tip income. The Biden-Harris Admin also launched a novel new IRS crackdown on tips, getting the IRS inside the door at bars & restaurants… pic.twitter.com/DO3Z6gKHu0

“The proposed SITCA program is designed to take advantage of advancements in point-of-sale, time and attendance systems, and electronic payment settlement methods to improve tip reporting compliance.

“The 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,” the agency added.
Under Harris, Big Brother can look directly into your employer’s financial system to ensure they can tax you the greatest possible amount. Of course, this is for your own good and the “certainty [for] taxpayers.”
Harris wants you to ignore what she already supports and believe things will be different. Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters today that there is no difference between her presidential policies and those currently enacted under President Joe Biden.

Americans can’t take much more of these Harris-style “successes.” Inflation is still burying Americans in debt, and buying a house is unattainable for millions of adults. If the financial policies under the Biden-Harris administration continue when she becomes president, these issues will only worsen. Voters understand this, which is why she’s resorted to stealing ideas from Trump, who made American families prosperous.
