Finance : (138) " Make no mistake: Republican tax cuts for the rich will bankrupt our country – and it’s the grandkids of the middle class who will have to pay it back. This is wrong. " - Seth Moulton " In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. " - Alan Greenspan " If Warren Buffett made his money from ordinary income rather than capital gains, his tax rate would be a lot higher than his secretary’s. In fact a very small percentage of people in this country pay a big chunk of the taxes. " - Michael Bloomberg " With customers’ permission, fintech firms have increasingly turned to data aggregators to ‘screen scrape’ information from financial accounts. In such cases, data aggregators collect and store online banking logins and passwords provided by the bank’s customers and use them to log directly into the customer’s banking account. " - Jerome Powell " If I have an accountant that just reports I just invested $10 million in my business, and he doesn’t exactly itemize where every cost goes, it gives a flag to the government. They want to make sure that the reason I’m not paying taxes is because I’m reinvesting in these businesses and not trying to hide stuff. " - Damon Dash " I know that there was a public disclosure mechanism in my financial forms. " - Anthony Scaramucci " Unlike the federal government, most states don’t have the option of running a deficit. " - Marcia Angell " I don’t like stock buybacks. I think if a company has the money to buy their stock back, then they should take that and increase the dividends. Send it back to the stockholder. Let them invest their money again from the dividends. " - T. Boone Pickens " Today’s tax cuts provide yet another illustration of the Republicans’ fiscally irresponsible economic policies that ignore the needs of America’s middle class, students, and working families. " - Ellen Tauscher " The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we’ll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on. " - Warren Buffett
