Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz has provided an important
update after the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate voted 100-0 in favor of the
"No Tip Tax Act," giving President Donald Trump another major
legislative victory.
Cruz is pushing the bill, which would eliminate tips from
federal income tax and which Trump championed during the election campaign. The
bill seeks to help millions of American workers who rely on tips for a
significant portion of their income.
"President Trump promised the American people he would
eliminate tip taxes. In Congress, I built a bipartisan, bicameral coalition to
achieve this, and in the Senate, I introduced the No Tip Tax Act. Today, I
joined Senator Rosen on the floor to secure the bill's passage in the
Senate," Cruz said.
