@LandedGentry@lemmy.zip points out that the OP is mistaken.
Removing tax on overtime and tips are included in the bill.

But they’re pulling the same bullshit as last time. Permanent for businesses, temporary for us.
There is a lot of room for abuse. Old salary $20/hour. New salary $8 + $12 overtime. For every “real hour” worked, you get 1 hour of “standy overtime pay”. Employer still gets to deduct $20/hour expense, you get taxed on just $8/hour pay? Or maybe it is $16/hour, with $4/hour tax free. This scheme can replace a raise. Employees could get screwed if the “overtime gift” gets cancelled later.
Which is baked into the tax plan. 3 years and the OT tax break goes away. 3 years for companies to skimp on actually raising pay to meet living costs. Then they’ll just blame the Dems if they win any seats or stay quiet if they retain majorities.
