This story is absolutely one of the best examples of media bias I've ever seen; it should win an award. Cheney donates $6.87 million to charity - about 80-85% of his income - and the headline screams about his tax refund, giving the casual reader the impression that he's pulled a fast one, another rich guy paying no taxes. And when they finally get around to mentioning the charitable contributions, the phrasing is put in a strangely negative way, i.e., "The Cheney's donated just UNDER $6.87 million to charity." A more accurate phrase would be "The Cheney's donated a whopping $6.87 million to charity." Truly amazing.
Actually, if I were the Cheneys, I'd have a serious talk with my accountant. Giving the federal government an intrest free loan of nearly 2 million dollars is generous, bordering on stupidity.

So what!
Did we EVER see Kerry's RETURN?
I'd bet these two would look like paupers compared to his WEALTH from his WIFE.
BTW are they still living separately?
The definition of "rich" is anyone who makes more than the leftist. Congratulations on being "rich!"
