At CNN, Alejandra Jaramillo, Kevin Liptak, and Tami Luhby whine that ending taxation of tips would be "costly."
Citing Republican members of the House Budget Committee, they claim it would "cost $106 billion over 10 years."
That claim requires a complete re-definition of the word "cost."
The government taking less of your money doesn't "cost" them that revenue difference, any more than me not burglarizing your house "costs" me a TV. Your money, and your TV, are yours, not the government's or mine.
Taxation, not non-taxation, represents "cost."
The actual "cost" of eliminating income tax on tips would total $0.00.
Consider calling your congresscritter to clarify that point.
