[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Las Vegas’s tipped workers say their income has fallen by more than half as tourism plunges

Las Vegas workers have seen their income from tips plunge by as much as 50% — despite the recently passed no tax on tips law — as tourism to Sin City takes a hit from President Trump’s global trade war.

“No tax on tips, that’s a rad thing. But it doesn’t really do us much good if there isn’t any people to get tips from,” Charlie Mungo, a 36-year-old tattoo artist in downtown Las Vegas, told the Wall Street Journal.

Mungo said he has made about $1,500 a month in recent months.

Harris barely won Clark County with a little of 50% in the 2024 election. Forty-eight percent of Las Vegas residents voted for Trump. Over 492,000 people in that county voted for Trump. Trump won the state by 47,000 votes. The good people of Las Vegas, Clark County, NV wanted those free tips that most of them were not paying anyway. Oh well, they FAFO that they got what they voted for, no taxes on no tips on the no money they are no longer receiving.  :mrgreen: [/quote]
