Larry Parrish posted:considering tips are close to 50% of my income I'm not sure its wrong Given there's no level of income where your marginal rate would be 100%, nevermind working as a service employee, I am going to guess it's very wrong. Like if your base pay were $12/hr and you get $12/hr in tips and work 2080 hours a year and you lived in California (has the highest income taxes in the country) then the total taxes you would owe on your $49,920 income would be $9,802.84 which includes payroll, fed, and state without factoring in anything beyond the standard deduction. $12/hr for an entire year is $24,960 or 2.55x what you would owe in taxes. Keep in mind that you would owe significantly less assuming you were making less. But even with the situation I mentioned above; your top marginal rate including payroll, state, and fed would be 27.65%, so for every dollar in tip you made, you would owe $0.2765. If tips made up roughly a quarter/to a third of your income then I could see the perception that the tips you make pay for your taxes owed, but that isn't really the government just taking your tips or your employer doing so, you're just paying the taxes you actually owe on the income you brought in (in fact a bit of tax fraud since you choose not to report cash tips when you are supposed to), which is the boat that everyone is in really (except the ultra rich). anonumos posted:I don't think that HR is sending confiscated tips to the government... The over withholding thing is quite common in many industries and with payroll departments that just use basic software that doesn't properly factor things in. If the employer is confiscating the tips outright, then that's even more reason to raise hell about it and actually figure out what should be owed. If they're reporting that they earned $x in tips, they absolutely should be seeing that money as gross income and then paying taxes on it accordingly.

That's not really how tipped minimum wages work. Their employers are obligated to only pay up to the standard minimum wage. They can get away with paying the tipped minimum wage (often as low as $2.50) if you make up the difference in gratuity. Earn $10 in tips one hour? Instead of minimum wage + $10, you get the tipped minimum wage + whatever is left over out of that $10 bill. It's theft, plain and simple, and more often than not the store manager keeps a much as possible, too.

When I was a busboy all the servers tipped out to the managwr and a slice would go to me, the dishwasher, bartender, hostess etc in our checks at the end of the week. but there was no way of knowing if what I was getting every week was even close to accurate so at some point I assumed the boss just skimming off the top and that’s how he industry works. Also when your 16 and get your paycheck your thought process is “holy poo poo $119!?! He’ll yea It’s party time bitches!”

I mean employers do frequently steal wages, but CA isn't a reduced min wage for tipped positions or wage+tips must equal min wage state.

Instead of minimum wage + $10, you get the tipped minimum wage + whatever is left over out of that $10 bill. They still have to set a base pay and they can't just take tips. So let's say the min wage for tipped employees is $5/hr and for non tipped it is $8. If the employer is in a tipped industry then they can offer a base pay of $5/hr and if the employee with tips makes at least $8/hr then no extra pay is needed. If it comes out to under $8/hr then the employer needs to make up the difference. The employer can't say oh look you made $10/hr with tips on a base pay of $5/hr so we will just peel back the $2/hr from you; that's wage theft. Also if they decide to pay $8/hr they can't just not pay out the tips unless they have an explicit no tip policy advertised. And even that depends on the state and if the industry is one where it tips are expected. The thing I was responding to (and it may be a misreading on my part) is the idea that tips are taxed 100%. Even if tips somehow made up 100% of your income the marginal rate calculation I went over would apply. And that is based on actual income so even in the scenario you brought up the tips are taxed at their marginal rate, not 100%. The employer stealing wages isn't exactly uncle Sam's fault (other than being a lazy capitalist pig who doesn't regulate said businesses to prevent wage theft in the first place ofc).

the regulation of society and distribution of resources is 100% the whole point of a government in the first place, meaning it is a failure of the American system that wages aren't fair in some places. Just because the government isn't willing to do something about it doesn't mean it's not their fault

The Fyre documentary was hilarious and sad at the same time. Influencer culture is trash and watching a bunch of rich kids get conned was funny. I feel sorry for the locals who are still owed money though. Watching them herd a bunch of spoiled drunk rich kids around knowing they're being exploited by the most narcisstic people on earth was depressing. Like It's actually nauseating that people on instagram just get paid to be young and rich. There's a huge marketing machine behind all of these people and it's constantly projecting an unobtainable lifestyle to young people. If you have a kid today and they're on Instagram they're likely being bombarded with luxury they'll never have. Elderbean has issued a correction as of 06:22 on Jan 16, 2019 |

You can't get away from influencer advertising. As soon as someone has an audience on youtube they sell out and start plugging products constantly. Unboxing videos are basically just commercials and kids love watching that poo poo. People used to call cartoons toy commercials (they weren't wrong) but at least they had some substance. The cartoon was like a prelude to toys, now it's like "here's a toy, don't you want to have it? Let me tell you how awesome this toy is!" There's a whole generation of broke brained redditors whose entire identity revolves around the disposable pop culture we grew up with, I can't imagine how the unboxing kids are gonna turn out. Most youtube channels are trash for this reason. Ads make money but people are less tolerant of commercial breaks now so the ads have to be integrated into the content itself. There's an inherent dishonestly to the overwhelming majority of the content on YouTube because it's all just there to market products and politics.

I like that I can scroll into the comments and see like kids who are excited to learn more and want to be like her when they grow up, kids that are no longer afraid of reptiles and spiders, just real wholesome stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q9dg2kZcGc Now they have a sponsor and she has to shill garbage off-brand phones before the video. At least they just started a Patreon, so I can toss some bucks their way and hopefully it doesn't get worse with that kind of stuff.
