Last 4th
of July, President Trump and Congressman Tom Barrett passed the Working
Families Tax Cuts, and thanks to Republicans, 7.5 million Americans claimed No
Tax on Tips this tax season.
The average tax cut topped
$1,300 from workers' tipped wages, and 90% of
claimants earned under $100,000 - proof that Republicans are
looking out for working Americans.
But don't
take it from us, this is what real Americans are saying:
- “Well, I have four children, so
that extra money will be pretty handy. So it would either go towards them
or towards my house bills.” — Liz
Johnson, Restaurant Worker, MI
- “It means more knowing that the
money you meant for the person is actually going to the person.” —
Hannah Soltay, Server, OH
- "I am very
thankful for the new $25,000 above-the-line tax deduction for tips… It's a
game changer for us. This policy will let hard-working service
professionals in Nevada like me keep more of what we earn." —
Patrick Wrona, Server at the Wynn, Las Vegas, NV
- "No Tax on
Tips really has a farther reach than we've yet to see. And I'm really
excited about this for a lot of people that work hard and I feel are
undervalued and unappreciated." — Rob
Barker, Restaurant Manager, North Carolina
- "Tips are
like 90% of my income. A little more money in the working people's pocket
lets us enjoy our cities a bit more." — Hugo
Lanos, Bartender, Florida
Every
single Democrat voted against No Tax on Tips and against putting more money in
Michiganders' pockets.
"While Democrats were fighting to raise
taxes on working families to fund government benefits for illegal immigrants,
President Trump and Congressman Tom Barrett put working families first with
historic tax relief." — RNC Spokesman Hunter Lovell
