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.

    Amerika seriously needs to stop tipping outright. It’s out of hand, ridiculous, and is only going further out of control.

    Tipping went from 10% to wait staff, to 20% and showing up everywhere. 10% was good when a meal cost $5. How the hell did it go to 20% when the meal is now $15? The percentage amount already means it keeps up with inflation.
