Tax the Rich!
That's what billionaire Fata$$ keeps tell us.
We had no idea that these people were loaded!
Illinois tipped workers hoping for a break under the new federal tax law are in for a surprise: the state will continue taxing tips.
Illinois has rejected adopting a new federal “no tax on tips” provision and chosen to keep state taxes on tipped income.
The law, enacted in July as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, made workers in service industries, such as restaurant servers, bartenders, and salon employees, eligible for an exemption to deduct $25,000 on tip income from their federal taxes for years 2025 through 2028.
However, Illinois — along with Maine and the District of Columbia — has chosen not to adopt the tip exemption, citing a potential significant loss in revenue.
One of their favorite "arguments" is about people voting against their own self interests.
Well?
Guess who all those tip-reliant workers voted for last year?
And guess who they'll be voting for next year?

Fuck them...and to help, I won't tip....
Of course Illinois needs money, there’s still work to be done on the Tri State Tollway.
I said it before, this was one Trump policy I could care less about. I've never had any of my income not taxable. By and large, your Starbucks 16/hour plus tips coffee pourer was out there rioting and protesting against conservative policies and defund the police every chance they got. Maybe there's a Mabel somewhere in an off=road diner in the Red south whose customers still tip in cash and - fine for Mabel. But I could give a shit less about the whole tin cup on the counter crew or 22% suggestion as they flip the screen for my take out order. I remember during covid when many places wouldn't take my germy cash as I got a coffee to go, but they sure were okay with my filthy cash in their tip jars. Same with Restaurants, I can't tell you how many I see with nasty signs about ICE or "Hands off Chicago." Fuck them. I waitressed and made good money. If you are working at a place with clientele that doesn't tip, youre likely to not pay much in taxes anyway.
The Illinois democrats just tax everyone. Who are they kidding.
Aa long as they dont tax my pension,. That's $350 a month in savings that I can use to pay for property taxes, garbage collection and city and plate stickers.
Pritzker is a hypocrite.
Lies through his teeth.
Wants to be King.
Why did anyone vote for this moron?
Fat ass is who they will for because voters in Illinois love the taste of shit on their tongue.
Thats no different than any cop who votes democrap, they know democraps hate police but continue voting for them
They'll do anything against Trump, even if it's great for Americans. That's how much they hate him and us. Voters are so dumb, democrats don't even hide it anymore.
just don't tax all that free welfare money, food stamps, snap benefits, free obamama phones, free housing, free medical care, free hos[ital stays, etc, etc, etc, all paid for by the legal American tax paying citizens
It helps your pension, you should be for it.
Cash is king don’t claim it problem solved
democrats in office say...
Fuck you,...pay your taxes.
It's not the way that they voted that will choose the ones who win
It's more the way that they're counted that will be the essence sin
And since the countings must be visible, so all can plainly see
They'll have to fraud them not so blatantly, I think you will agree
We're looking for the feds to roll on in
We're waiting for that miracle to arrive
'Cause what that can do
For me and for you
To see the rascals fall
As Trump can catch them all
Sorry, but reporting tip income is important, because that income adds to your Social Security payout when you retire.
My dad was a cab driver who only reported half of his tip income on his taxes & he still got the maximum SSA payout after he retired.
Not paying taxes on tips is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of!
Never underestimate the greed of government when it comes to taxes.
I assume our state will be taxing overtime as well. When will we ever learn and finally flip this state.
IL says "Hold up, wait a minute. Let me rob you!"
Wait staff make 20 dollars a hour then want a 25% tip. Yes tax them some walk home with 200-300 dollars a day cash in addition to their hourly wage. Tax them!!
City looking at bankruptcy how willl your pension like that.
You get a tax credit. So you are taxed on ot
The Democrats are working hard in Springfield to tax all income to include retirement income, pensions, social security, disability income. They need the money to pay for all of the perks that are given to undocumented people.
As if the tax money from tips will be used to shore up the pensions. It'll just be pissed away on something else.
Guess who all those tip-reliant workers voted for last year? Democrats
And guess who they'll be voting for next year? Democrats.
Becuse they're idiots!
Now that the Fed doesn't tax tips, the greedy states are going to tax tips even more. They can't let all that money go without taxes on it now, can they? Kind of like when oil prices were down, Illinois raised the gas tax thinking no one would notice.
If I give a tip it's after tax income I've given. Why does it need to be taxed again?
I only tip at Starbucks.
So your not saving anything..the 350 you say you save you hand back to the city!
At least to those who actually vote. So many bitch but dont bother to get their lazy fuckin assess to vote
That’s what I thought. There is a limit on SS income to reach maximum SS payout
Interesting because the feds won’t be taxing OT, to a limit, it won’t be all your OT is tax free. State may follow. I hope not
Sooner or later the pensions and meager income of the seniors will be taxed. In the democratic world anyone with a job is a "rich" so it will be OK to tax them.
I didn't - twice for sure and anytime in the future.
OT. Illinois doesn’t let you use your 529 bright start plan to pay for private high school either whereas federally they said it’s OK and a lot of states do.
Illinois: Hey der kiddo... Looks like da Feds gave ya a break. Well, that's great ain't it? So ya know, JB wants his cut. Ya gotta kick up kid. Totally voluntary, sure. But you're gonna do it right? I mean JB does so much for you and the naighborhood, so how about it? *nuggie on the head*
Yeah, I know you're a good kid. See ya on the first of da month.
It’s coming.
I agree. I had family who worked cash jobs. They loved it then- didn’t love it when it was time to retire destitute.
Always stories on the blog about that fat pig governor he's this he's that blah blah but everyone will vote for him to be governor again. They are gonna tax pensions next watch
its been said a million times, but I gotta say it again, anyone who votes for a democrat is brain dead
dems will put you on a payment plan
I didn't 2x, im still wondering
I fucking new it!! As a worker in a salon...my clients said it was going to be nice for me. I told them that there was NO WAY in HELL that Illinois would follow thru. They didn't believe me. I have never voted for a Democrat ever in my life
starbuckos does not, never has, supported the police, never supported the military, please get your coffee elsewhere
Are you Canadian?
Here is my tip fatso Pritzker. Don't bet on slow horses.
Pritzker often speaks of the billionaires like him not paying their fair share. Go after them billionaires, trillionaires and millionaires, a.k.a. "the Rich et. al.", that communist social democrat Bernie Sanders talks about so much first before you take food money providing much needed sustenance from one working class table to the next. Pay your fair share first for the intentional misrepresentation of the number of toilets in your mansion ponying up the property tax plus penalties. Lead by example Governor Fat Body before you make little people's money get skinny.
No I'm Pippen.
So, knucklehead, you dad still got the max payout while not paying tax on half his cash tip income and, what, you're bitching about it?

Too big to rig is, hereabouts, hugely too big to rig.
And, until the ones counting the ballots are compelled to do so in the bright light of day, hugely too big to rig is still not big enough.
This used to be a Cook County judge
