@LandedGentry@lemmy.zip points out that the OP is mistaken.

Removing tax on overtime and tips are included in the bill.

But they’re pulling the same bullshit as last time. Permanent for businesses, temporary for us.

I have no moral character and I must fall for it again

These memes are getting out of control and yet still fail to accurately portray just how ridiculously inept these people really are.

This one is pretty good though.

I'm worried that there's an additional layer of meaning here that is too deep for me.

The leopards are going to become morbidly obese from this round of eating. Someone had better get them a bunch of "fat shots", stat.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Oh, they don't believe in getting shots.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 11 points 1 year ago

I believe in their getting shot.

Not a meme

There, I commented it for you this time.

Annoying pedants hot and ready in your area!

I'd be asking my employer to cut my pay to 0 and simply 'tip' me the same gross amount every month.

Does it mandate taxes on hoarded billions of wealth? No? Then it's a bad tax bill.

I never understood how he could even promise to exempt overtime from taxes. Tips, I understand, but overtime is lumped in with your wages on your W2.

How would the IRS be able to tell your overtime wages apart from your regular pay?

[-] moody@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago

Your employer would declare it as such when they do payroll.

My pay slips have a separate line for regular pay and overtime pay at a different rate.

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

The IRS doesn't care about your paystubs (unless you're being audited). They only care about the W2, and there isn't a box for "overtime wage" on it. It's all lumped into the same box

[-] bonkers54@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So they will... add a box?

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

This is what I don't understand...taxes are on net income. IRS treats a dollar from overtime the same as it treats a dollar from wages.

People see a higher percentage taken out on paychecks because their payment processor is dumb and it assumes that your wages this week will be representative of all weeks for the remainder of the year, in which case you haven't been paying enough taxes so far this year, so it's trying to make it up.
