Vice President Kamala Harris stole Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s “No Tax On Tips” policy proposal during a political rally on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
Trump has been repeatedly touting his plan for months as a way of helping service and hospitality workers who have been financially damaged by high inflation rates that President Joe Biden sparked with massive government spending early on in his presidency.
“It is my promise to everyone here, when I am president, we will continue to fight for working families, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” Harris said.
Trump immediately ripped Harris on social media for stealing his policy proposal.
“Kamala Harris, whose ‘Honeymoon’ period is ENDING, and is starting to get hammered in the Polls, just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS Policy,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The difference is, she won’t do it, she just wants it for Political Purposes! This was a TRUMP idea – She has no ideas, she can only steal from me. Remember, Kamala has proposed the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY – It won’t happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
The idea was so popular that the powerful Culinary Union, a left-wing organization, endorsed Trump’s “No Tax On Tips” proposal, as did the state’s two Democrat U.S. Senators.
Kamala just announced she is stealing President Trump's "NO TAX ON TIPS" proposal.
But like everything else she says, it's a pure political calculation she'll never actually do — but President Trump WILL. pic.twitter.com/8MiJ8eFreu
