The Terrible Trump Idea That Should Have Stayed in Vegas

Sign up for the Slatest to get the most insightful analysis, criticism, and advice out there, delivered to your inbox daily.
The article from Slate discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal to eliminate taxes on tips, a policy he announced during a campaign event in Las Vegas. This proposal aims to appeal to service industry workers, particularly those in hospitality and gaming sectors, by directly addressing their financial concerns. Critics argue that this move is a strategic play to garner support from unionized workers in Nevada, a key swing state, despite Trump's historically anti-union stance. The policy has sparked a debate about its economic implications, with some seeing it as a populist measure to win votes rather than a sound fiscal policy. Additionally, the article highlights the skepticism from labor unions and economic analysts who question the feasibility and fairness of such a tax exemption, pointing out potential revenue losses for the government and the selective benefit to only one segment of the workforce.
