Well the hedge fund guys will dislike this plan because it eliminates what is called "carried interest" which basically let's them treat their income as long-term capital gains instead of ordinary income and they pay a lower rate of 20% instead of the current maximum rates for ordinary income of 39.6%.

Essentially this plan would increase there tax rate from 20% to 25% (the new maximum tax rate on ordinary income).
