Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have both proposed eliminating taxes on tips, a move that has received bipartisan support but may only benefit a small percentage of American workers, according to a Yale University study. President Biden has also endorsed this proposal, though the White House did not acknowledge Trump's origin of the idea. Critics argue that the plan could create significant financial loopholes, disproportionately favoring high-earning servers while providing little benefit to low-wage earners, and could lead to a revenue loss impacting Social Security. Economists express concerns about the long-term implications of such a policy, suggesting alternatives like increasing tax credits for lower-income workers. Meanwhile, Trump has accused Harris of copying his proposal, stating that she lacks originality in her policy-making. The ongoing debate highlights the complexities of tax policy and its effects on different segments of the workforce.
