I wrote a nice long educational reply for you. Unfortunately I timed out and lost everything. Not worth my time to rewrite it. I will say this: If you think only individuals who make more than 400k will see an increase in taxes, I have a bridge to sell you. Also, corporate taxes increasing 33% is bad twice over for the economy.
