One Big Deadly Bill » The Bulwark

"(As) one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I wanna tell you a little bit about the scam of that text, a little bit of the fine print there,” she said on Wednesday. “The cap on that is $25,000—while you’re jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,00 across the United States while taking away their SNAP, while taking away their Medicaid, while kicking them off of the ACA and their health care extensions. “So if you’re at home and you’re living off tips, you do the math. Is that worth it to you? Losing all your health care? Not able to feed your babies? Not being able to put a diaper on their bottom, in exchange for what? This bill is a deal with the devil."

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D, NY)

AOC slammed the GOP’s budget as a “deal with the devil,” calling its tip tax break a scam that trades small savings for deep cuts to health care, food aid, and support for Americans earning under $50K.
