How is that a shakedown? They ARE his kids. He makes at least $1 million (just the two line items mentioned are 1 mil) a year and that child support only comes in at about $20,000 a year. Perfectly legitimate child support amount.

Gee, $1500/month for two minor children for someone of Bush's wealth doesn't seem like a shakedown to me.

He's getting off easy. I make 50k and pay $807 a month for one child.

Oh please. He made over a million dollars in shady penny stocks and fishy "consulting" jobs, and he can't provide $750 per month for each child who bears his name? Give me a f**king break.

Yes, there are injustices in the family-court world, like the guys who have to pay child support even when DNA proves it's not their kid, but this is not one of them.
