There's a new bill (introduced last week by Rep. Ron Paul) to make tips tax exempt! Email this to everybody who earns tips and anybody who knows someone who earns tips. Read this over...spread the news...CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND BOTH SENATORS and let them know you want this bill passed!

Ron Paul Wants to Exempt Taxes on Tips
Gambling911.com Special Contributor and an ardent supporter of 2008 US
Presidential candidate Ron Paul wants service employees (bartenders, wait
staff, casino dealers, etc..) to pay attention. Read on to find out why...
Ron Paul is Trying to Exempt Taxes on Tips! Casino dealers, waiters,
cab drivers, hairdressers, etc. listen up! Ok, service people. Time to
get busy. Pick up the phone and dial like you have never dialed before.
Call every one of your friends and have congress calling parties.
This is the chance of your lifetime! Introducing the Tax Free Tips Act
Ron Paul Speech to Congress on September 25, 2007:
Madam Speaker, I rise to help millions of working Americans by
introducing the Tax Free Tips Act. As the title suggests, this legislation
makes tips exempt from federal income and payroll taxes. Tips often
compose a substantial portion of the earnings of waiters, waitresses,
and other service?]sector employees. However, unlike regular wages,
a service sector employee usually has no guarantee of, or legal right to, a tip.
Instead, the amount of a tip usually depends on how well an employee
satisfies a client. Since the amount of taxes one pays increases along
with the size of tip, taxing tips punishes workers for doing a superior job!
Many service sector employers are young people trying to make money to pay for their
education, or single parents struggling to provide for their children.
Oftentimes, these workers work two jobs in hopes of making a better
life for themselves and their families. The Tax Free Tips Act gives these hard
working Americans an immediate pay raise. People may use this pay raise
to devote more resources to their children's, or their own, education, or to
save for a home, retirement, or to start their own businesses.
Helping Americans improve themselves by reducing their taxes will make
our country stronger. I, therefore, hope all my colleagues will join me in
cosponsoring the Tax Free Tips Act.
That is a bill introduced yesterday by Republican Presidential Candidate
Ron Paul: The man for the people. If you ever had any doubts about who
was the man who would protect the people and not the corporations, this
should alleviate them. Ron Paul has legislation on the table right now that
would exempt tips (gifts) from the Income Tax that taxes wages. Finally,
someone who understands how hard these folks work for their money and
how tips are not usually required and are based on how wll a person does
their job. Tips are gifts, they are given when people please others. Most
people in service industries don't even make minimum wage (they are
exempted out because they get tips), then to add insult to injury, the
IRS usually determines ahead of time just how much they should be
making and taxes them accordingly whether they make thatmuch in
tips or not. Service folks, you have a shot at being able to keep your
money with no fear that the IRS will be looking over your shoulder.
Ron Paul needs your help as well.
This bill will not pass without a fight. Please everyone, call your
congressmen and tell them you support the Tax Free Tips Act! As soon
as you are done with that, you might want to register as a Republican so you can
vote for this man for President. He is supporting you. Now it time for you to
support him! Post this in the kitchen, break room, etc.
Tell everyone you know. But you must call Congress about this.
Call them, write them, email them!
