Illinois rejects “no tax on tips”
The state of Illinois rejects the federal “no tax on tipped wages” provision of the “One Big Beautiful Bill”. This primarily affects low-income families by taking more of their income and giving it to the state without specifying where this extra tax money is going.
For this project, I have created an Instagram account spelling out the details of the bill along with the moral dilemma this bill poses to our society. The state of Illinois is further perpetuating the cycle of poverty by taking even more money from the lower class and giving it to the state. These funds could have gone towards groceries, mortgages, car payments, health insurance, etc. but is now going to the State.
I have provided the links to our State Representative as well as our Senator’s contact pages with a script of what to write. My intention is to bring attention to the dissent of this bill from the people to the minds of our representatives. You will be able to access the Instagram page from the link below.
