Again, I remind you the question is whether eliminating tips from taxable income
would benefit workers who earn tip income.
As has been pointed out already, most tipped jobs have pretty low pay, even with the tips. Some tipped employees would see a benefit. Many would not.
I say the enthusiasm shown by tip earners demonstrates they believe there is a benefit.
Some believe there is a benefit. But beliefs are not facts.
Your reply, "Trump is a liar" in not responsive.
It doesn't directly answer the question, but it provides context for a non-answer. Trump is, in fact a liar. And he's probably lying about working to get a tax break on tips. It's just his MO of saying what people might want to hear, with zero intention of actually doing anything. So from that perspective, it doesn't matter whether eliminating tips from taxable income would be a benefit or not, because the odds of it actually happening are vanishingly small.
