It resets to the same as it was during Clinton's term, which is an increase of only around 4% from where it is today. Also, it applies to the top 2%, of which nearly none of, reside here at GFY.
To your point, it does not effect those who make more than 90% of Americans - it applies to those who make more than 98% of Americans! People who will be rich either way.
