A look at a cache of emails from key figures of the Biden administrations shows that Biden’s tax policy was essentially written by extremist, left-wing activist groups.
The emails show Biden officials coordinating with left-wing organizations as the administration rolled out its tax policies.
Per Just The News:
Public records from the Treasury Department were obtained by Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which include documents that show email correspondence between Biden Treasury Department officials and employees of left-wing nonprofits. In the emails, the officials and nonprofits worked together on developing talking points and policy, showing a very close relationship where the latter had sway over the former.

In December 2022, Victoria Esser, founder of Belle Haven Consulting, LLC, emailed Ellen Nissenbaum, who at the time was Senior Vice President for Government Affairs at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), regarding talking points for Jack Lew, former Treasury secretary for the Obama administration. CBPP was a contributor to shaping Obamacare.
“I know Ellen already saw this release from House [Ways and Means Republicans],” Esser wrote. “Jack asked me to coordinate with you all on the best response. He is likely doing CNBC Squawk Box and Bloomberg Balance of Power next week and week after. I think he is comfortable on advocating for funding piece but anticipating some potential snark question/s on false assertion that tax gap numbers are inflated/supposed abuse/going after middle class. Would you be able to help?”
Nissenbaum sent the email to Natasha Sarin, who at the time was counselor to then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen for Tax Policy and Implementation, writing, “Natasha, Are you doing anything for Dems in response to this? Tx.”
Unsurprisingly, the emails also show that discredited Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies were also key parts of the Biden administration plans on taxes.
