Trump and Harris Unite on Tax-Free Tips Policy

Both presidential candidates endorse eliminating federal taxes on tips, but experts question its effectiveness.

Trump and Harris both propose eliminating federal taxes on tips to appeal to service workers.
Economists argue the policy would benefit few workers and could lead to significant revenue losses.
Harris pairs her proposal with a federal minimum wage increase, unlike Trump's standalone policy.
Critics warn of potential tax avoidance and reclassification of income as tips.
The policy's popularity among voters contrasts with expert skepticism about its economic impact.
