Tipped workers (Vegas) say their income has fallen by more than half. I guess they won't pay tax on the missing income that they didn't report anyway.

[CaughtInThe]

Can you believe that people VOTED for this pain????



"No tax on tips, that’s a rad thing. But it doesn’t really do us much good if there isn’t any people to get tips from,” Charlie Mungo, a 36-year-old tattoo artist in downtown Las Vegas, told the Wall Street Journal.

Mungo said he has made about $1,500 a month in recent months.

He added that Canadian customers, who made up about 30% of his clientele, have vanished.

“We’re all starting to freak out,” he told the Journal."

Las Vegas’s tipped workers say their income has fallen by more than half as tourism plunges

Tourists have largely stayed away from Sin City due to inflated prices such as $9 for a cup of coffee, $100 per person for a buffet spread.

Trump has thrown up road blocks with other countries doing business with is in so many ways. His isolationist economic policies will only hurt the people who voted for him and depend on other countries to make a living and keep their costs of living and doing business down. He has made doing business with the USA both unprofitable and undesirable. The average Trump voter benefited from global trade and tourism which Trump has critically harmed. All he offers are measly little income tax cuts which do very little to make up for the decrease in economic activity and increase in cost of living.

Other countries are going to retaliate in all sorts of different ways

And this is a great point. It's not just Vegas. It's everywhere. Like in Florida this winter...

Never in the course of history has one shit head screwed up more of a great country in a shorter period of time than Dysfunctional Donald on his rampage of destruction he calls a second term.

And he's only 6 months in.

SMH

Such is the price of apathy.

We were just a few million votes short of a night and day different course of history with our first woman president. And she would have done such a good job compared to this. We wouldn't be going through all of this crap. America would have stayed on a growth trajectory. Billionaires would not get another tax cut. Services would not have been cut. Workers still working. Continued growth. But no.

All potential voters who sat this election out, but could have joined their voices with the almost enough millions of us who said no are to blame.

Couldn't be bothered to get informed and engaged? This is what you get. We tried to stop it. We needed you. Your country needed you. You let us down.

Well I hope all this shit going down doesn't bother you now.

You're so right. The Fox Maga's probably can never be rehabilitated...it's the apathetic voter who's now feeling the pain that we need to win back into voting.

So is this about tax on tips, or about people not going to Sin City? Vegas is expensive and full of drunks, hookers, dope dealers and con artists. So why are people not going?

Gosh, you're right.

That must be a new development.

OMG! I did not see this coming.

 

[Mr Person]

And he's going to keep going, being backed by braindead assholes whose only concern is whether or not "the left" (aka not-MAGA) is angry about what he's done.

Right up until it's "where's my FEMA? Where's my Medicaid? He said he wouldn't!" or whatever horse shit they cry about when they get what they voted for, thinking he was just gonna hurt other people.

Atta boy! Stop unchristian tourism to the US.
Most Vegas tourists are Americans. Who will still be filling the hotels and supporting the hookers, drug dealers and con artists.
The people who are not going are not going because it's the USA.

Anyway...

Good thing they voted for this maga assclown:

Yeah, Trump is killing our economy but just wait until Red states get hit with massive hurricanes and they find out he's also killed things like FEMA, assistance, etc.

Those people in those states that Trump will have ALREADY hurt will get the double whammy.

 

[CaughtInThe]

Maybe MAGAs, since Canadians aren't going to Vegas, can head to Vegas and subsidize the workers out there whose incomes have plummeted.

There are a lot of unrepentant sinners within that area. Donald Trump himself is also an unrepentant sinner.

 

[Michael Cole]

It's about no tips because people aren't going to sin city. Says so in the title.

Vegas is expensive and full of drunks, hookers, dope dealers and con artists.

And they gamble. With money.

So why are people not going?

Because the Bunny Ranch is outside Carson City, not Vegas.

No tax on tips.

 

[CaughtInThe]

Guys. Chill.

Trump kept his promise. They are paying ZERO TAX on the money they're not making now.

 

[CaughtInThe]

Here's a perfect example of how Trump's policies are crushing Republican businesses/families...

 

[Metric Mouse]

It's really hard to blame people for not going to Vegas, when there are so many places closer to where they live that are amazing and awesome and should be explored.

Also, Canadians will still struggle to find good tattoo artists inside of their own borders, but that will be a thing with or without tips.
