Just the Tips (groan)

The other day I said that Kamala Harris should simply take Trump's "no tax on tips" idea.

So finally, after almost 20 years on this goddam blog trying to help you people, somebody gets it right and has agreed with me:
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris both want to end taxes on tips — and some policy experts have already criticized the idea.

Harris expressed support for tax-free tips at a rally on Saturday in Las Vegas. Her comments come roughly two months after Trump shared a similar idea, also at a rally in the service economy hotbed.
See? Even while acknowledging it was "Trump's idea" the writer lumps it in as if he & Kamala had the same idea, so now the issue is totally negated and therein off the table for November. Unless of course this happens:

Besides, of course the second a minor celebrity casually mentions he's against the plan Trump will flip-flop on it anyway.

 which of course it being Trump means it 100% absolutely will and THEN Kamala will own it.

Of course I *have a feeling* that when I talk about no tax on tips I'm talking about lower income workers on their feet 14 hours a day serving people & Trump is probably talking about him selling a yacht for a dollar & being "tipped" by the seller $50M, but it's all baby steps here at America dot com, so.
