I can't wait to hear the complaints about this. Cheney donates $6.87 million to charity, and all we will hear is that Cheney is raping the US Taxpayer by ripping off the IRS for $1.9 million.

How is overpaying your taxes ripping off the feds?

Cheney better revise his W-4. He's giving the government an interest free loan. Best to get neither a refund nor pay anything on the 15th, unless it's less than $500.

3 Hours until some Democrat calls for it to be confiscated.

"The Cheneys did without that money so far, surely there are people who desperately need help who could use that money better."

- Imminent Lib Sound-bite.

Is that a headline for the uneducated masses or what? Alot will read no further than the headline and they will say Cheney is a rich tax cheat.

Cheney Gets $1.9 Million Tax Refund

I would seriously consider getting a new accountant. That overpayment may have cost him close to $200K.

About the only thing I can see is that Cheney is an idiot for letting the gov't borrow those millions the past year at 0% interest.

I'd always rather have to owe a small amount than get a rebate, since it means I've been keeping as much of my money as the Fed will allow without having to owe an extraorbitant amount.

So much for the argument that the President and the Vice-President are in this war for the money.

By John Kerry standards, Cheney practically qualifies as poor.

I'll bet that charitable donation threw him RIGHT into the alternative minimum tax category!

But I'm still pissed off about owing on the AMT for the first time ever this year, even though I made more money in previous years. I thought the AMT was only for the rich.

Cheneys donated just under $6.87 million to charity

Don't want to mention that in the headline, do you, AP?
