Aug 11, 2024, 02:15 AM

Vice President Kamala Harris announced at a Las Vegas rally her intention to eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers. This proposal mirrors a policy previously introduced by former President Donald Trump in June. Harris's announcement has sparked controversy, with critics accusing her of copying Trump's idea. The policy aims to benefit workers in the service industry, although some argue it may primarily favor their employers. Trump's campaign has responded by accusing Harris of plagiarism. The Nevada Culinary Union has also demanded a federal ban on tip taxes.
