Yeah it does make sense. But I think FRPLG's point is we should all be thankful that there are people and businesses in this country making that kind of money, because they're the ones doing the heavy lifting when it comes to financing the federal budget.

Ease up people.

I just finished my taxes and I needed to vent. The Cheney story was a convenient target...as he always avails himself to such.
Anything can be a target if you make up numbers like you did, I guess.

well i provide for my wife and now 2 kids, and still pay over 30 % consistantly.

Federal only?

Sorry to intrude on your little Republican lovefest pal, but the numbers were straight up. He paid 6% of his income in federal taxes. Do a little math and you'll see where it came from.

I know where the 6% came from. You referenced the figure by saying "...ultimately pays only 6% income tax", leaving out the fact that 78% of his income went into tax-deductible donations.

Saying he paid 6% of his income in federal taxes is just plain stupid.

Sociofan, when you give money to charity, don't you get to deduct that contribution. Cheney can do the same thing, you know.

Instead of chastising him for paying only 6% in taxes, maybe you should ask yourself if you've ever helped people as much as he has, by giving OVER $5 MILLION TO CHARITY. That's over half his salary.

Don't get on Cheney's case for paying taxes when he's giving so much of his money away to help other people. That's borderline retarded.

What are you talking about? Did you read this part of the article that I cited above?

"Recipients of their charitable donations included: George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates for the benefit of the Cardiothoracic Institute, the University of Wyoming Foundation and Capital Partners for Education, to benefit low-income high school students in the Washington area."

He got a $1.9million rebate because he had $2.5million *withheld* and only owed $500k.

Here are links to the entities that received the donations.
