Jared Bernstein is former economic adviser to Joe Biden. He is also the executive director of the newly formed White House Middle Class Working Families Task Force. He was also a member of the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry. I think that pretty much gives Bernstein all the credentials he needs to say something moronic.

I’ve already explained why Warren Buffett is either dishonest or clueless about tax policy. Today, on CNBC, I got to debate the tax scheme that President Obama has named after the Omaha investor.

One of my big points was that the United States already has a self-destructive set of tax laws for investment. As such, it would be very foolish to increase the double taxation of income that is saved and invested.
