Didn’t Dems say they wanted to raise taxes on the wealthiest? Doesn’t this do it with minimum harm to middle class people?

Yes, it raises taxes on upper-middle-class Republicans in places like Southern California. Are you surprised that the GOP lost House seats in Southern California two years ago? A lot of Republicans were angry because the GOP Congress had just punished them with higher federal taxes - The irony is, these same GOP voters oppose California’s high tax, but the national GOP is punishing them for those high state taxes that they oppose.
