Not taxing tips is actually a gift to the employers more than to the employees. When a tipped worker claims 100$ they will have taxes and SSI withheld from their hourly wage AND the employer will also have to pay into SSI for that claimed tip amount.
Do away with taxes on tips, then make the argument that there shouldn’t be a minimum for service workers at all. Eventually we get rid of minimum wage completely and SSI.
Minimum wage will be the next thing to go.
