DoorDash Grandma Didn't Get $11,000 Tax Refund, Is Frequent Flyer Republican Prop
These people are so full of shit.
TL;DR
- Sharon Simmons, a DoorDash driver, participated in a White House photo-op with Donald Trump.
- She was presented as saving $11,000 in taxes from Trump's "No Tax On Tips" policy for her husband's cancer treatment.
- The article asserts that Simmons' $11,000 was in tips earned, not taxes saved, and disputes the White House's claims.
- The "No Tax On Tips" policy is questioned for its limited impact on most service industry workers.
- Simmons has appeared in similar Republican events previously, leading to her being called a political prop.
- Simmons told Fox & Friends she made $11,000 in tips, and potentially saved $3-4,000 in taxes, contradicting the $11,000 figure presented by Trump and the White House.
- The article argues that relying on tax savings for medical treatment highlights flaws in the U.S. healthcare system.
