Retroactive Tax Hikes

According to this report, the Biden gang wants to enact retroactive tax hikes:

But what about this?

US Constitution, Article I, Section 9

3. No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

I'm sure the "lawyers" will have a ready excuse why such tax hikes would be OK, but as far as I'm concerned they would be based on "ex post facto" laws and/or regulations which stem from such laws and would therefore be unconstitutional.

Not that such things matter to "our" government.

And speaking of "bills of attainder", isn't that exactly what the Patriot (sic) Act and the Global War on Terror are all about?
