Biden's IRS plans to crack down on waiters' tips
'They're coming after waitresses' tips now,' tax expert Mike Palicz says

Those 87,000 new IRS agents that you were promised would only target the rich," tweeted Mike Palicz, federal affairs manager at Americans for Tax Reform. "They're coming after waitresses' tips now."

When you rebut this propaganda at other sites it’s good to know that the ‘expert’ quoted is Mike Palicz - one of Grover Norquist’s ATR goons.

If you search the story you can see it spreading quickly on all the RW news sites, Reddit forums, and wherever tipped employees of all services congregate.
If you’re an activist DUer you know this type of propaganda needs quick countering before it takes hold.

"Waitresses" - these people are so behind the times they can't even lie credibly.

12. Especially since tips have been taxed since 1982

That would be st Ronnie who was in charge

edta. I remember when I first had to declare tips so as to be taxed on them. Also in some right to work states employers can use tips to offset min wage. So they paye their employees less than min wage.

17. Wow, I knew FOX was bad but I didn't realize they were that bad

Not one link to actual information about the Service Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (SITCA) program, just more links to Fox articles. Talk about a walled garden!

Here: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-introduces-new-service-industry-tip-reporting-program

From a quick scan, it looks as if this proposed program has more to do with ensuring employers stop withholding tips from their employees. I could be wrong. Correct me if I am.

Dems need to get on top of this before the RW lie machine controls the narrative.

Spot-on analysis, blm. The people who repeat “Liberal Media” have been trained well.
