9. Yes, and then there is of course Dick Cheney's "deferred compensation" as he served as VP

For eight years, Cheney received payments from Halliburton which I believe when confronted he said went into a trust fund that he would not access while he was in office. Halliburton paid next to nothing in taxes from its profits on these wars. Yet the U.S. taxpayer still funds Cheney's health insurance. How twisted is that? Some people in this Country who are extremely wealthy seem to think they never have enough. They look at the middle class and impoverished and think we have too much. Again, how twisted is that?

Thanks for posting on my thread.
