You can't pay for a three trillion plus dollar bill with "small" tax increases on the upper middle class and rich. They will have to hit all taxpayers with large increases. Sure, each individual thing in the bill can be paid by "small" tax increases but lump them all together and you need monster tax increases.
The CBO actually evaluate this bill at 5 trillion dollars meaning that 3 trillion will be added to our debt if this passes. It looks like it's stalled now, but the Communists will be trying to widdle it down enough to get Manchin to pass it while still keeping as much pork in it as possible.
