| short profile |  |
“Alan Greenspan served as Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank for 18 years, “Capital doesn't pay any taxes, only people pay taxes. What happens is, you impose taxes on organizations “I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, “Greenspan's economics may be abbreviated to Greenomics, which essentially turns out to be Greedomics,
long enough time to really screw up the American economy.”
— G.E. Nordell
which then deflect them elsewhere. But at the end of the day, all taxes are paid by people.”
— Alan Greenspan, in testimony before Congress 21 May 2003
you've probably misunderstood what I've said.” — Alan Greenspan
signifying a view that nothing should be done to interfere with business greed and the pursuit of profits.”
— Dr. Ravi Batra
