'It is my promise to everyone here that when I am president, we will continue our fighting for working families of America, including raising the minimum wage and eliminating taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers'
President Donald Trump's idea, announced weeks ago during the 2024 presidential race, not to impose a tax on tips is so good that Kamala Harris, the candidate hand-picked by the Democrat party's elites to be their candidate this year, is using it.
Plagiarized. Stole. Endorsed. Supported. Choose your description.
But a Newsweek report explained Harris as "endorsed" a plan to eliminate taxes on tips for hospitality and service workers, "echoing a tax proposal originally put forward by former president Donald Trump just months ago."
Harris's announcement that she likes Trump's plan came during a weekend campaign rally.
"It is my promise to everyone here that when I am president, we will continue our fighting for working families of America, including raising the minimum wage and eliminating taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers," Harris promised, coming in second to Trump with such a plan.
She said at the same time she doesn't have her economic policy platform in place yet.
Trump came out with his plan for tax protection for tip recipients at a rally in Las Vegas in June, when he said, "To those hotel workers and people who get tips, you are going to be very happy because when I get to the office we are not going to charge taxes on tips, people making tips. We're going to do that right away, first thing in the office."
Harris's decision to join that campaign came after a survey found that 67% of Americans do not believe tips given to service workers should be taxed, the report said.
A report at HeadlineUSA openly accused Harris of plagiarizing Trump's plan.
The report noted that under the Biden-Harris administration, the IRS launched a scheme to crack down on underreported tips by service workers.
Harris was the one who cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate that implemented the policy in the first place, and then she later bragged about her vote to do so on her official X page in March.
Now, however, she wants to push back against the policy she supported.
