The surprise is that 28% is lower than the one proposed by President Biden. Senator Bernie Sanders quickly expressed disapproval, urging her to go for a higher increase.

Jason Katz, managing director and senior portfolio manager at UBS, is a vocal opponent of this measure aimed at the wealthiest Americans. In an interview with Fox Business, Katz criticized the proposal sharply, calling it "an unmitigated disaster."

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says on Meet the Press that he would go higher than Vice President Kamala Harris’ proposed 28% capital gains tax for top earners.

Bernie Sanders also openly disagrees with Vice President Kamala Harris on her shift against supporting Medicare for All, which she backed in 2019.
