The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Not quite. Try reading the few actual facts in the article itself. If you read beyond this fake headline, you see that Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to increase funding for the IRS on August 7, 2022. And then not until 6 months later....in February 2023......did the IRS first propose a program to tax tips.

Duh..6 months later, lol same difference.

And if you read on further the article also reported,

“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,” Americans for Tax Reform’s Mike Palicz told Fox News at the time. “Ultimately, the goal is to go and grab as much revenue as possible and from whoever they can.”

“They told us they’re not going to be coming after people earning $400,000 or less,” Palicz added. “Well, here’s a new IRS rule that’s focused on bringing in tips from waitresses.”

Palicz also took 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.”

And the reason why Dear husband and I always tip with cash, giving the money to our server to pocket the money right away.
