Dick Cheney Donates Millions to Charity (77.89% of income given to charity)
http://www.newsmax.com ^ | April 15, 2006 | www.newsmax.com

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.

Contrast this to the near ZERO contribution of President Zero, Slo-Joe Biden & Company!


You are way out of line SIR, Biden gives a tremendous amount of money to charity and I know this to be fact, just not his own money, he takes it from the undeserving and gives it to the deserving /sarc

With men like Cheney, charities are still in business.

“Oh, they’re very charitable. The difference being, they want take away OUR money so they can give it away, while Cheney gives away HIS OWN money”

Yeah, President and Mrs. Robbing Hood. And all their little friends from the ‘hood. It gives me such a warm feeling...

That picture of Rahm fishing for an apple begs for a caption.

What do you do with an apple core after you've eaten it in the Oval Office, anyway?

Pocket it ? Throw it in the fireplace ? Hide it under the couch ? Summon an aide to take it by the stem ?

Also why do we see so many pictures of 0bama close-eyed ?

Who or What is he Channeling ????!!!!!!!

Everythime he steps off Marine One I expect Rhambo to come throw a purple velvet cape over his back. It’s only a matter of time before he slips up and grabs his crotch on TV

ROTFL!!!!!!

That was funny.

Now back to the Reality that his "woness" has created (sigh).

and a charity for low-income high school students in the Washington, D.C. area, Capital Partners for Education.

But, the evil Republicans hate black children and work hard to keep them down....

I don’t care. I think BRAINS are sexy. And Dick has brainpower to spare! ;)

I’m married to a MENSA member. How he puts up with me, I’ll never know, though he has told me that I am the smartest woman he’s ever met, so that’s saying, um, something...? Maybe he doesn’t get out much? LOL! Basically, he appreciates my common sense and work ethic. ;)

He also likes me because I never ‘let’ him beat me at anything. (I did, however, let him chase me until I caught him.) *WINK*
