  • those b/w $400K-$5M would see rate flat at 21% as currently

ADDED further, this via Bloomberg report:

  • Democrats are also proposing a 3% surtax on individuals with adjusted gross income in excess of $5 million and to treat cryptocurrency the same as other financial instruments, raising an estimated $16 billion.
