Florida Representative Matt Gaetz introduced legislation to eliminate federal taxes on tips for industry workers, following former President Donald Trump's recent comments on the matter. The proposal aims to support service workers by making their tips exempt from federal income taxes. This move has garnered attention from other GOP lawmakers, including Sen. Daines and Reps. Massie and Bacon, who have introduced similar bills. Rep. Bacon's bill, introduced earlier this spring, seeks to exempt the first $20k earned in tips from taxes. Trump's proposal, which was raised during his June 9 rally in Las Vegas, has received mixed reactions, with some hospitality workers in Las Vegas praising it for its potential financial benefits, while a labor group advocating for higher base pay criticized it as a 'fake solution.' The proposal is seen as a strategic move by Trump to win over voters in key battleground states like Nevada.
