Trump and Harris Clash Over No-Tax-On-Tips Policy

In an exchange of political attacks, former President Donald Trump has accused vice president kamala harris of stealing his idea to rid the federal tax on tips for employees of service facilities. This claim was a reaction to the rally of the latter held at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where the Vice President pledged to eliminate tip taxation for employees of restaurants, bars, and hotels. In the Twitter message, as cited in the article, Trump claimed the promise of Harris was a pure political move reflecting her insincerity in willing to implement such a policy.

At the beginning of the year, Trump also spoke in Las Vegas, promising to spare the tips of workers in the service industries from being taxed. Therefore, the policy he suggested regarding the no-tax-on-tips initiative was repeated during the recent rally of Harris. The Vice President, supported by the endorsement she has received from the Culinary Workers Union Local 226, explained that during her tenure, she has always worked to make the lives of working families better, and the removal of the tax on tips is in line with her objectives along with the increase of the minimum wage.

It is essential to note that the debate offers an opportunity to observe the collision of two giants in the political arena over the influential and vulnerable group of workers in the region associated with the booming service industry in Las Vegas, and the feature of the ongoing race is subjected to increased attention from the competitors and electors alike.
