@LandedGentry@lemmy.zip points out that the OP is mistaken.

Removing tax on overtime and tips are included in the bill.

But they’re pulling the same bullshit as last time. Permanent for businesses, temporary for us.

They won't care, they won't even know about it because Fox News will scream that a trans person looked at a toilet last night in Ohio and now 4d8+6 children have been molested.

I… cannot overstate the mirth I felt reading “4d8+6 children have been molested”.

Bravo.

They'll just lie about it and make their supporters think they did something good.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Their supporters still haven't noticed the TCJA from 2017 raised all their taxes in the first place with temporary (long expired) cuts for middle class and permanent cuts for the rich.

Hell, the majority of voters on both sides had no idea the Republicans wrote the last tax bill and were set to write the new one this cycle, it was barely talked about at all during the election unless you were actively participating and looking for it.

The goalposts will just be shifted again. There's only one way to fix this and is ugly and painful.

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Exactly. Being a flagrant and blatant liar is one of the reasons why his voters absolutely love him. The last thing they will do is judge him for getting caught in a lie.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When the base find themselves worse off, they’ll blame the wokes. It’s those goddamn gay Mexican muslim furries, what else could it be?

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i would rather see a minimum wage increase to service workers, tax free tips would open the door for dubious people to do shady stuff

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They spent the election selling their low-means supporters the idea that the problem isn't wages being low, it's taxes being too high. And once taxes are low you'll be a Fortune 500 CEO before you know it.

once taxes are low you'll be a Fortune 500 CEO before you know it.

Really? I can't wait! 🥳

they'd be very sad if they could read

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's hard to keep track of what has been and what has not been passed by the various committees, but does anybody have a more up to date draft than https://waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/The-One-Big-Beautiful-Bill-Section-by-Section.pdf ?

It does increase deductions, and it does add a deduction to offset all tips between 2025 and 2028, but kind of means fuck-all when it keeps the TCJA rate increases for bottom brackets, takes away millions of people's healthcare coverage and social security.

They don’t care. They owned the libs. The smug satisfaction from this will carry them through the lean years ahead and beyond.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sweet! I can't wait to watch them have a total change of mind and heart as they realize their mistake.

[–] Colonel_Panic_@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Hahaha yeah! Same! I know the descent into Fascism didn't do it, not violating the constitution, nor lying about everything else, nor the egg prices still being high, not the fact that they proclaim to hate criminals yet he is a convicted felon, nor that they claim to love Jesus yet he breaks every single thing the Bible says and Jesus said to do, nor that they continue to be poor and angry despite his promises, nor that he didn't end the Ukraine invasion, nor that he keeps getting richer and yet keeps begging them all to donate more to him and they don't see the grift.

Nope, none of those worked, but THIS TIME they will wake up!

“They would have done it if it weren’t for the all-powerful and simultaneously inept and weak opposition”

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm kinda OK with taxing overtime because it should be extremely rare, but has become normalized. There's plenty of people out there with no job at all.

With my job I get compensated with "overtime" based on certain on time related factor, like if its past midnight, if its sunday, etc

But....but they are owning the libs!

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

he lied‽ nah... the man's known for his honesty, surely you're mistaken.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You can tell them until your throat is hamburger meat and your voice is nothing but bloody spatter.

It doesnt matter.

Because they don't care.

Fox News/OANN/Whatever else will tell them its necessary to own the libs, and they'll cheer. They will self immolate before they dare have critical thought.
