No taxes on tips sounds good. Experts say the effects would range from hardly life-changing to potentially harmful.
  • Most tipped workers already don’t pay federal taxes.
  • Increasing the tipped minimum would do more.

Edit: really there should be no minimum lower than the hourly minimum.

    If you’re in Massachusetts, consider voting for Question 5 to end the separate tipping minimum wage. It’s a good first step

      Specifically voting yes on that question.

      You may have seen many restaurants putting out signs saying to vote no. That was done by management and front of house staff because they don’t want to pay their employees at the minimum wage and they don’t want to share their tips with back of the house staff (who also deserve the tips as much as FOH).
