Instead of "no tax on tips", how about lower taxes on all low wages, including tips?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Exactly, this isn't helping the lowest paid workers anyways as tipped workers are inherently making above minimum wage (except possibly in Quebec). Why should for example a construction labourer making $25/hr pay more in taxes than a server bringing in $100/day in tips (~$30/hr)? If we really want to help the lowest wage workers (and to a lesser extent, all working class) the personal exemption should be much closer to the annual income from full-time minimum wage work.
