Most don't even know who Cheney IS, OR CARE..
Jay Lenos Jaywalking episodes extant..
By "Rich" They mean everyone above oliver twist.
For a mere $50,000, I will offer to help Dick and Lynne adjust their withholding so this doesn't happen :-)
The Clintons donated that much in used underwear.
Cheney did the opposite--he gave the Government an interest free $1,900,000 loan. At about 6% interest and assuming equal estimated tax payments, that works out to a gift to the government of about $57,000. He obviously didn't have Rush's accountant because the purpose of properly calculating one's withholding and estimated tax payments is to come in owing a little, but not enough to incur underpayment penalties. Cheney goofed by not keeping his estimated payments lower so he wouldn't have ended up making that large gift to the government.
Your post lacks the requisite warnings.
I fixed it for you, but please be more careful in future.
What about Hill and Bill? What about any Democrat?
These are impressively generous people.
The reason he sold his options was because the Rats insisted he do it. Course he would have done better by holding and buying Haliburtan. He made nearly as much as BJ clinton! What a Great Country.

Yeah, Clinton is always blathering about how he makes too much money and should be taxed more...How much did HE pay?
Which is, of course, exactly what the headline writer and his editor intended.
That's because people are myopic and believe that they're entitled to a refund. I explained the benefits of a pure flat income tax to a friend and he whined about losing his home mortgage and other deductions and crap.
If people do choose to get a refund, they should immediately stock it into a 401(k) or interest-earning account.
In 30 years!
So, how much interest did Cheney get for loaning the US $1.9 million of his own money? Americans should send him a "Thank You" letter for free use of his money.
Well here are the complaints at DU... surpised me tho... there are actually a few that have a brain over there that give him credit for it instead of trying to skewer him!

Good idea. I tweaked my W-4 last year to create just this type of scenario. This year when I filed, once everything was tallied, I wound up owing about $80 to the Feds. Much nicer than last year.
But you forget, Slick Willie donated some 'used' underwear, though!
