I had the pleasure of visiting a family-owned barbecue restaurant named Dolan's Bar-B-Q where I met the owner, Mary Beth, and had a great conversation about her business, some of her challenges, and how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will help address some of those challenges. Among the many things we discussed were specifically the no tax on tips and no tax on overtime provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Being that Statesboro is a large college town, Mary Beth informed me that 95 percent of her staff are college students, young people simply looking to earn pocket money while they pursue their degrees. On average, Americans could receive up to $1,300 more from no taxes on their tipped income. Imagine what this means to Mary Beth's employees. We also discussed no tax on overtime. To quote Mary Beth: During busy times like football season, we work a lot of overtime because we are just so busy.
