President Joe Biden issued a budget proposal Friday that called for a 39.6% top capital gains tax rate, in line with what had been previously proposed to help fund the American Families Plan.
It would apply to taxpayers with income of more than $1 million.
Combined with a 3.8% Medicare surtax, the richest Americans would pay a 43.4% top rate on capital gains.
