In one of the largest sums ever donated to charity by a U.S. public official, Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne gave away nearly $7 million last year to help the poor and to medical research.
According to income tax information released by the White House on Friday, the Cheneys' adjusted gross income in 2005 was $8,819,006.
The sum was largely the result of Mr. Cheney's stock options from Halliburton and royalties from three books written by Mrs. Cheney.
The Cheneys gave more than three-quarters of their income - $6,869,655 - to several charities, including George Washington University's Cardiothoracic Institute and a charity for low-income high school students in the Washington, D.C. area, Capital Partners for Education.

An old tidbit that is worth posting. Don't ever let a liberal tell you that Republicans/Conservatives are greedy.

How about a side by side comparison with
the current idiot VP, he gives about 25 dollars
a week.

The only reason I found out about this is because of Ann Coulter. It is an old story from 2006. Republicans don’t get any credit.

He is just making my point...Conservatives give more then Liberals. Why just compare Palin’s tax return to Obama’s or Biden’s....They are cheap, Palin and now it is confirmed Cheney gave from their heart!

Al Goron, says he gives every penny of his hundred million dollar fortune to green causes. Which goes right back into his pocket for running the causes, which he in turn gives back to the causes, which goes back into his pocket.. and so on... This is how he keeps his green businesses appearing operational.
