Ken Kies, a corporate lobbyist with a history of aiding tax avoidance for major companies, has been appointed as the U.S. Treasury Department's assistant secretary for tax policy. He will implement a Republican budget law signed by President Trump, which provides $4.5 trillion in tax cuts primarily benefiting affluent Americans. Critics, including Leor Tal from Unrig Our Economy, argue that this move indicates a clear bias towards billionaire interests, especially as many families are affected by rising prices and cuts to essential services.
