Writing on the wall is in large, neon letters. Can only be missed by those with blinders on.

The House tax bill has no provision for exempting Social Security benefits from income taxes. Instead they are providing a relatively meaningless increase in the standard deduction for taxpayers over 65 with phaseout for higher income taxpayers. I don't need to be Nostradamus to know that the promise was a sham.

The bond market is at 5.08 percent and climbing. Moody’s didn't just cause a rise in mortgage rates at over 7%. The market will react because it has no choice at those rates. Further complicating the matter is the zero chance of the Fed to cut rates anytime soon with their inflation parameters.

I think the promise has already been broken. They no longer say that Social Security benefits will be tax free.

That ship may have sailed. Tips are still in the sight though.

If no tax on tips passes, I for one will be reducing my tipping percentage. Is earning tips income really so noble as opposed to earning other types of income that people earning up to $160,000/year should be entitled to up to $25,000/year in tax free tips income?

I suggest an attempt to work as a server in The Villagers to those who feel people performing those "menial" jobs shouldn't be paid adequately for their efforts. Also, inquire what the base wage is before tips. Talk about a crappy job for peanuts... And if you know any waitress/waiter making $438.36 a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks out of the year, I'm impressed. Last edited by Aces4; 05-21-2025 at 06:25 PM. |

If you personally know any wait staff in TV, you shouldn’t be surprised when they tell you tips are far less than other restaurants they were employed. Yesterday at lunch our favorite waitperson had taken a job in Ocala along with 3 other staff members. They love their restaurant but can’t survive on lack of tips. Her tip average last week about 10%. Our 2 person lunch bill without alcohol was $97. It’s not an inexpensive menu. I have never understood how someone can spend $50+ on a meal and leave a $5 tip on the table. Yes there are TV residents that tip appropriately, however, it’s not the norm. Yes there are establishments with six figure waitstaff. You will find excellent chefs, above and beyond staff, with a built in % tip. Yet you will often see additional cash tip left on the table.
