Drew A. Layda for State Representative HD31

“Tips” are a monetary gift from one private citizen to another & should NEVER have been made taxable income at any level of government.

“Wages” are compensation for labor from an employer to an employee & should never have been made taxable income either.

“Income” used to only be a term to describe passive sources of personal revenue (I.e. investments or holdings) - “in-coming” revenue that did not require the person to “go-out” into the workplace and provide labor.

“Labor”, by nature, is taxing on the body performing it: but money & holdings are not damaged even after generations of making more money (except that damage created by artificial inflation & devaluation of capitol.)

This gradual “narrative shift” on what is income, what is labor, what is a gift, should show you what a slippery slope grabby government can be.

Who do you think it will be?
