I wish Cheney would run for President, what an honorable man with some real conservative principles and lots of $$$$$
The Vice President of the free world makes almost 40% as much as Ray Durham, the second baseman for the San Francisco Giants. A horrible player the past year and a half.
Or almost 15% as a leading actor makes for a big film.
:shrug:
How could you be that powrful and famous and not manage to make $3 million. How hard can it be?

He could of made more but he would have to pay taxes on it so unlike the poor baseball player who makes so much and pays so much tax Cheney decided F it. Too bad we tax these big guys or they could make more. I mean who wouldn't want to make baseball player or leading actor money? But that dang tax holds us back.
I'm as critical of Cheney as anyone, but I haven't seen anything specific he received in salary or benefits from Halliburton for last year (other than his V.P. job to begin with, thanks to the company and connections, but that's another well-traveled thread). Any links to specific Halliburton income? Would of course welcome that info...
If he gets anything now it's in a "blind" trust. Of course there are always future favors errr jobs. But why would he want more. I was reading those other threads where these poor ba$tards get taxed on the millions they make.:scared
Stevie in their defense they are the producers of our society. We are pieces or garbage. How dare anyone ever tax them. Might scare them right into wanting to be poor.
Oh Boy I was corrected. The VP salary was rasied to 205 two years back. Stll all the sports stars get so much more. But do they get there whole life free. Heck VP gets everything payed for. Everything. Even free toilet paper. When your a big ass like Chenney thats alot of paper.
Blind trust are a joke when your running a war that helps the companies you know dam well your invested in.

Thats wonderful. You know where most of the Cheney''s money comes from? The broken back of the tax payer. This is almost as laughable as if the oil companies donated some money. Those gas goughers can donated a billion dollars a day and still be the biggest dirtbags on earth. Next to Cheney that is. I had an Aunt like this. Lied and lied and lied and then went to church three times a week to clean her soul. Wonderful lady.
