My guess is that they will also go after tax exempt municipal bond funds.

Other than some current investors, that's really a tax on cities and states. If a wealthy person has to pay taxes on the bonds, then they'll demand more interest from the cities and states issuing them to make up for the taxes.

“really a tax on cities and states”

That would be classic, since the feds now pay for so much that cities and states used to pay for...

A story as old as civilization.
