(Daily Mail) Allies of former President Donald Trump on Tuesday is launching ‘No Tax on Tips’ stickers to turn every restaurant receipt into a campaign billboard.
Trump unveiled his campaign pledge earlier this month during a rally in Las Vegas as he tries to woo workers in service industries, promising that tipped workers would no long pay taxes on gratuities if he wins reelection in November.
The idea has caught hold among supporters who have been writing ‘no tax on tips’ on their receipts.
Now MAGA Inc.—the primary Super PAC supporting Trump’s 2024 campaign—is offering to make it easier with stickers
Taylor Budowich, the group’s chief executive, said: ‘It’s simple: President Trump wants hardworking American to keep more money in their pocket, Joe Biden wants to take it to give to illegal immigrants.
MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump Super PAC, are offering stickers to promote Donald Trump’s new pledge to lift taxes on tips. It comes after diners shared receipts on which they had written in support of the policy to help workers who rely on gratuities
‘President Trump’s plan is brilliant, and our sticker campaign will make sure it’s known far and wide.’
The plan would eliminate taxes on tips through cash, credit and debit cards by allowing such taxpayers to claim a 100 percent deduction.
The federal minimum wage has stayed stagnant at $7.25 since 2009, but tipped workers can make as little as $2.13 before tips.
Under current tax law, tipped wages are treated the same as regular payroll wages, and workers are expected to pay tax.
The stickers are available at a new No Tip Taxes website.
The idea was inspired by people writing on their receipts and posting them on social media.
Trump referred to a particularly famous example during a speech to Turning Point USA Action in Detroit recently.
‘Tips for restaurant workers and hospitality workers and anyone else relying on tips no more taxes on tips,’ he said. ‘No taxes on tips. None. None. None.
‘In fact on your receipt, when you get your receipt for a restaurant, you know who sent me one? Kid Rock, how good is Kid Rock? Isn’t he craz—great.’
