The policy debate in the presidential election has a new focus: removing taxes on tips for tipped wage earners.
Both candidates announced their proposals to eliminate taxes on tips in Nevada, which has the highest workforce percentage of tipped workers at 5%. New Mexico’s percentage of tipped workers is 3.5%.
Harris’s announcement was different because it also included a pledge to raise the federal minimum wage.
This is a great sound bite for rallies and commercials, but behind the scenes it is more complicated.
