Major tax reform from a Democratic perspective will be impossible from a House and Senate reality check. What is possible is a rider on another bill that forgives the taxes on the first $10K of tips. My favorite Uber driver gives customers only three stars if they don't tip. The actual principal here is that good service should be rewarded (not demanded). I think great teachers should make 100K. Merit in the age of AI and algorithms should make this possible. If tips are tax deductible and that makes people in that biz better performers then what's the pander?
