SA 849. Mr. WYDEN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 5, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2021 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2022 through 2030; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:

At the end of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
INCREASING THE PROGRESSIVITY OF THE TAX CODE
WHILE PROTECTING TAXPAYERS WITH INCOMES UNDER
$400,000.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
increasing the progressivity of the tax code through raising
taxes on the wealthiest taxpayers while preventing tax
increases on taxpayers with incomes of $400,000 or less, by
the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes,
provided that such legislation would not increase the deficit
over either the period of the total of fiscal years 2021
through 2025 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2021
through 2030.
