Subject: Re: Also in his own words
But that's not what's going on with this specific policy. They're not letting people - generally - keep their own money. They're letting a very specific subset of people keep more of their money than any other subset of people.

No, they're talking about taking an income classification and taxing it differently. The policy does not discriminate; it does raise some interesting questions of what constitutes a "tip". What if my drywall installer discounts his price by 90%...but I "tip" him the balance. The devil, as they say, is in the details.

Which means that this policy is just as much "redistributing other people's money to whatever group is currently in favor" in actual practice, just like you accuse the Democrats of doing.

Not even close. There's no transaction involved where the government shifts money from one group to another or creates a scenario where prices rise because of the subsidy.
