that the tax break only pertains to a portion of overtime pay, or the “‘half’ of ‘time and a half pay’, required under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.”

For example, if a worker makes $40 an hour, then their time and a half overtime would amount to $60 an hour. Of that $60, only $20 (the “half” part of “time and a half”) remains tax-free.

Additionally, “no tax on overtime” is a federal income-tax change only. State and local income taxes still apply (unless your state separately conforms), and Social Security and Medicare taxes are still withheld on all wages, including overtime.

to how much overtime pay remains tax-exempt: $12,500 per person annually, or $25,000 for people filing together. Earners who make more than $150,000 (or $300,000 combined between two people filing together) are not eligible for tax-free overtime pay."

So in Lily and Joe world, taxes can only go up and never be reduced, ever, for any reason.

Spoken like true taxpayer leeches who suck their livings from other people's taxes.

Since you are a well-to-do upper class American taxpayer, you should pay more Reggie.

Like that @Lokmar fellow over at TBC, Clearly you haven't paid your fair share @Reggie_Essent

For those that voted for him based on his policies, very likely.
Not at all. So only the overage is un-taxed. Who thought the whole thing would be? Did you? Are you anti-tax now, or pro-tax?

Do you even know what your position is on this? Or do you even have a position on this beyond the usual anti-Democratic squealing?

Because, "You should all be afraid and ashamed for voting in your own interest instead of in the interests of the Administrative State!" isn't really much of a position worth being loud and proud about.
