Brendan Duke, Senior Director of Economic Policy at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, joins MSNBC’s Ali Velshi to explain why Donald Trump’s proposed tax cuts on tips and Social Security are the “Trump University of tax plans” that would provide “tax cuts for the wealthy, pennies for low- and middle-income families.”

    I was divorced, working homeless and living in a hotel, But had to pay back income taxes while DonOLD WAS IN OFFICE. Thank God Biden was elected. And took on Covid right away. Because as a Nurse, Covid forced me into retirement, and the opportunity to receive my unemployment compensation a little longer while Biden was in office, allowed me to get back on my feet, find an apartment, and get my life back. I’ll never forget what Biden did for me at my lowest point, and also how trump failed me. Vote Blue💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Nobody disrespects his supporters more than Trump.

    The tell was he was at a restaurant. He doesn’t eat anywhere other than his clubs or fast-food for fear of being poisoned.

    Funny how quickly the attempted assassination story and sympathy train evaporated

    Tax the Church, that money comes out of your pocket.....Twice if you belong to a church, 100 times if you're a Scientologist.
  • The waitress was a big lady, a strong lady... And she had tears streaming down her face when she said "SIR - the government is after me all the time trying to take my tips!" 🙂
  • @GordonColed
    If he knows so much about money, why has he been bankrupt six times? And had to close his casino with $1.8 billion worth of debt !
  • @davidhunt3808
    How can anyone believe a word that comes out of his mouth he is a serial liar ?
  • @HughJorgan65
    The mysterious invisible non-existent people that tell trump sad stories about their horrible lives.
  • @chashue6032
    Politically the worst thing to happen to Trump was Biden in 2020 and NOT Biden in 2024. Well played Joe.
  • Why is the former president sweating so much? Did he ever do his probation required drug test?? 😛
  • @jornbuster6094
    if no taxes were payed on tips, then every single person would get payed in tips. the entire economy would collapse. no funds for basic services, security, the military, etc
  • @stanwoody4988
    Not tax on tips means service workers would be kicked off social security. It would be similar to how farm workers and domestics were excluded social security when it was first created in 1937. Every employer would lower wages and tell his workers to get the rest from tips. Every time you would turn around their would be a palm held out to be greased. They are already asking for tips for automatic check out machines.
