Trump's Tip Tax Proposal Faces Scrutiny from Service Workers

Critics argue the plan to eliminate federal taxes on tips falls short of addressing deeper wage issues in the service industry.

Trump's proposal aims to exempt tips from federal income taxes to gain support from service workers.
Many tipped workers already pay little to no federal taxes due to low wages and tax credits.
Labor advocates argue that higher base wages, not tax cuts, are needed to improve workers' livelihoods.
Some Republicans and labor groups are skeptical of the proposal's economic impact and effectiveness.
The debate highlights broader issues of wage inequality and the need for comprehensive labor reforms.
