Context: the house of representatives just passed the budget for 2025 and planning 2026-2034. It was expected to include Trump’s campaign promise of “no tax on tips,” but it did not. The joke is that r/conservatives thought that’s what democrats voted against. The bill details budget cuts to every sector, including the House Energy and Commerce Committee who are to cut $880 billion from their programs. This committee oversees the FCC, the FTC, the EPA, the FDA, medicare, and medicaid, among others. Even if the committee cut its budget for everything else to zero, it would still need to cut into medicare and medicaid. This would all capture $2 trillion in savings over 10 years. The bill also includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts over 10 years, resulting in an additional $2.5 trillion dollars **$2,500,000,000,000** of debt — now, it goes to the senate to decide.

“I’m not a smart man”
r/conservative masthead

Personally I’m all for democrats voting against no tax on tips and overtime. I thought it was a terrible idea when Trump announced it, I thought it was a terrible idea when Kamala supported it and I still think it’s a terrible idea.

We don’t need more reasons for companies to try to get their workers to work more hours. We don’t need incentives to work more hours, we need fair pay for the same or less hours.

All income should be taxed equally, tips are the employees income and a Waitress getting $30 an hour in tips should be treated no differently than a McDonalds worker getting $15 an hour in wages. If you want to support the low income workers then raise the standard deductible. You average low income worker doesn’t get enough deductibles to really take advantage of things like donations and other tax deductibles not to mention the work involved in doing so.

No tax on tips is a great way to try to pay off voters, but it is terrible policy.

I was assuming this “no tax on tips” thing was just a vote-buying scheme, but I kept thinking “Why tips, particularly?” I’m thinking it’s so they can justify lower wages. “It’s better if I pay you less and more of your income comes from tips! You don’t have to pay taxes on them.”

Yep. I actually sat down and read the bill. Absolutely nothing about cutting taxes on tips.

r/conservative is the biggest circle jerk cesspool on this site

It also makes cuts to USPS it looks like. literally at the post office for over an hour now and there are folks here complaining that it was easier to get deployed overseas than it is to renew their P.o. box.

I’m going to be real here and say that r/conservative should just be banned or forced to be private. They are just a propaganda machine. I have MAGA people in my family and not one of them are as batshit insane as that sub. I can have a conversation with them and I can get them to agree to certain facts. Not that subreddit though. I am so certain it is run by Russian propapagandists.

That subreddit can’t be real. Even worse, I’ve been on that sub and pointed out lies in an incredibly respectful manner as well as offer counterpoints and sit there wondering why I get no responses or at least downvotes only to log out and realize that the mods shadowbanned my comments. Despite breaking no rules at all, they ban speech that doesn’t follow their narrative. I remember once I brought the idea to a thread that if they have a problem with immigrants, maybe we should talk about foreign owned interests and how we shouldn’t allow foreigners to purchase our own property and rent it out to us. Make it so only Americans can purchase American land and how they are funneling our money out of the country. I had gained a bunch of upvotes and a response from someone about how their NYC office was paying rent to a Chinese business and how it was total bullshit. And then suddenly, no more responses or upvotes… I guess r/conservative sucks foreign interest cock and can’t have that kind of talk on their subreddit.

At some point we need to tackle subreddits that just blatantly post misinformation and silence anyone who tries to correct it. If most of their posts are for flaired users only, then they are admitting that they don’t want any opposing views and that they want to live in that bubble. Fine, don’t want a civil argument that brings facts to the table? Make it private at least.

conservatives are the dumbest people on the planet. They constantly fall for the trickle down lie and think billionaires care about them.

I mean, if they didn’t fall for propaganda they wouldn’t be conservative

For real though, unless it is *very* specifically detailed and specified (obviously it won’t be) that the no tax on tips only applies to service industry workers whose hourly income is less than the minimum wage, you KNOW this shit is going to be abused. …almost as if the “waste, fraud, and abuse” people aren’t actually sincere

To be absolutely fair – I saw people on r/Conservative bashing Zelenskyy for not holding elections. One dude was like “USA held elections during wartime in world war. Not to is undemocratic”

A kindergartner could tell you how the US was able to hold an election during a world war. You can bash redditors all you want for being idiots, but the people in r/Conservative are constantly showing that they’re at the bottom of the barrel.

I genuinely don’t get how these people just eat up all these blatant lies? Are they regarded?

They’re stupid.

I hate it when politicians slip something highly controversial into an otherwise reasonable piece of legislation.
