This really isn't about taxes. In America, the bottom 50% of earners, which would include most tipped workers, pay effectively $0 in taxes.
Though, on some level it sort of is about taxes. Like, this minimum wage stuff only seems to come up when Dems lose on tax legislation. If they can't tax the rich, they'll just make the things they want to buy (like labor) cost more.
What I don't get is how some states apply the "regular" minimum wage to tipped workers. That seems crazy to me. It elevates the pay rate of those jobs above that of more skilled jobs like manufacturing, truck driving, warehousing, etc.
