Trump group rolls out 'No Tax on Tips stickers' as it steps up effort to woo working class voters

Allies of former President Donald Trump on Tuesday is launching 'No Tax on Tips' stickers to turn every restaurant receipt into a campaign billboard.

Trump unveiled his campaign pledge earlier this month during a rally in Las Vegas as he tries to woo workers in service industries, promising that tipped workers would no long pay taxes on gratuities if he wins reelection in November.

The idea has caught hold among supporters who have been writing 'no tax on tips' on their receipts.

Now MAGA Inc.—the primary Super PAC supporting Trump's 2024 campaign—is offering to make it easier with stickers

Taylor Budowich, the group's chief executive, said: 'It's simple: President Trump wants hardworking American to keep more money in their pocket, Joe Biden wants to take it to give to illegal immigrants.

MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump Super PAC, are offering stickers to promote Donald Trump's new pledge to lift taxes on tips. It comes after diners shared receipts on which they had written in support of the policy to help workers who rely on gratuities

'President Trump's plan is brilliant, and our sticker campaign will make sure it's known far and wide.'

The plan would eliminate taxes on tips through cash, credit and debit cards by allowing such taxpayers to claim a 100 percent deduction. 

The federal minimum wage has stayed stagnant at $7.25 since 2009, but tipped workers can make as little as $2.13 before tips. 

Under current tax law, tipped wages are treated the same as regular payroll wages, and workers are expected to pay tax.

The stickers are available at a new No Tip Taxes website.

The idea was inspired by people writing on their receipts and posting them on social media.

Trump referred to a particularly famous example during a speech to Turning Point USA Action in Detroit recently. 

'Tips for restaurant workers and hospitality workers and anyone else relying on tips no more taxes on tips,' he said. 'No taxes on tips. None. None. None. 

'In fact on your receipt, when you get your receipt for a restaurant, you know who sent me one? Kid Rock, how good is Kid Rock? Isn't he craz—great.'

KidRock shared a receipt on X, on which he wrote: 'A vote for Trump is a vote for no tax on tips'

Trump unveiled the pledge during a speech in Nevada, which tops the list of states he hopes to win back from Biden in November

The musician posted a receipt showing that he tipped $400 on a $1143.20 bill.

'A vote for Trump is a vote for no tax on tips,' he wrote on the slip.

Trump's promise is part of an effort to show low-wage workers they will benefit from lower taxes not just the wealthy. 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there are 2.24 million waiters and waitresses that depend on tips for income across the country. 

Nevada has the highest concentration of tipped workers in the country, with about 25.8 waiters and waitresses per 1,000 jobs, followed by Hawaii and Florida.

Trump launched his proposal during a speech in Nevada, which tops the list of states he hopes to win back from Biden in November.

'For those hotel workers and people that get tips you are going to be very happy, because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips,' he said as the audience cheered. 

The idea would need legislation to go into force.
