Harris has said she wants to boost the corporate tax rate to 28% and increase the top rate for long-term capital gains to 28% for those making more than $1 million.
That means that those who are buying AMT bonds but not paying AMT are getting free income, he said.
Lastly, a higher corporate tax rate could also spur banks and insurance companies to return to the muni market.
The companies owned a lot of municipal bonds when the tax rate was 35% and many bought more corporate bonds when the tax rate fell to 21%, Brandon said.
