Holy Shit. Cheney made enough last year to GIVE AWAY nearly $7 MILLION!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

$6.87 million went to "charities." http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-5756066,00.html

I'll bet he uses the same tax advisor as Mama Bush. I'd love to see an audit.

That's more money than I'll make in my entire life. Hey Dick! F*ck you, too!

15. It just does not seem right that

5. Holy shit

I really wanna see a breakdown of the "charities" the Cheney's gave $6.87 million too.

Does Halliburton count? He gives them "charity" money, they give him the $$ back in options and he gets taxed on $2mil instead of $9? Sounds fishy too me :D

10. babs showed the way they "donate" money

she showed the way by donating to a charity but "earmarking" the donation for purchases from neil bush's educational company.

so, cheney probably donated to a nice-sounding iraqi reconstruction charity, but "earmarked" the funds for purchase of halliburton services....

8. I had to laugh when

Bill Maher made the joke about it being tax time and he was going to just make the check out directly to Halliburton!:-)

9. Conflict of Interests????? How does this fly?

Why the dark and evil one's association to Halliburton, get by with Halliburton doing so much work with no compete contracts from the Govern. increasing the dark and evil one's bottom line so much?

AND

How does somebody run a country (2nd in command), the most powerful country in the world, and have enough time to make such positive financial decisions?

F---ing A--hole!
