WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush reported adjusted gross income of $735,180 for last year, on which he paid $187,768 in federal taxes, according to the president's return released Friday by the White House.

The White House also released the 2005 tax return filed by Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne. According to the return, the Cheneys have overpaid their taxes this year and are entitled to a refund of about $1.9 million. Their adjusted gross income was about $8.82 million.

Cheney got how much back?

:1orglaugh

Will be interesting to see Rumsfelds when its released to see just how much he made on the Tamiflu the bird flu drug he owns the highest stock percentage in that the US bought last year

Cheney's gave over $6million of their $8million income to charity.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh his own charity?

I bet those fuckers even deducted the paper that they make notes on in the white house.

Yeah.... making money is a crime. You fuckers should be happy they're reporting it.

Nahhh - that was Barbara Bush who gave all that money to Katrina relief - but ot could only be used if it was spent on her families software programs per her specific instructions

Ok? Thanks for the update...

Yes and Bush said the rich needed tax cuts because they were paying 40% in taxes. Well now the highest rate is 35% thanks to Bush's tax cuts which Bush is in that bracket, but do the math. His taxes equal 25.5% of his adjusted gross income not 35%. Shows how they lie to get what they want. No one pays 40% taxes unless they're Bill Gates or Warren Buffet and well he don't need any fucking tax break. Even they say that.

$735,180 in adjusted gross income $187,768 in federal taxes. That's 25.5% not 35%. even under the OLD system he wouldn't have paid more than 30% of his income in taxes. Who here would bitch about 30% in taxes if they cleared over $500K a year afterward? I sure as hell wouldn't.

List his address as a PO Box in Chicago. I thought it was 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC?

hehehe do you guys honestly bealive Bush made just 700k? i think he forgot to add at least 2 more 0's to that number

You guys crack me up. Fookin hysterical.

Because the tx rate was cut - more people are working. Moreover, the more that work , the more people spend, thus the government collects more income. Higher tax rate strangle the economy, not grow it.

Its like pissin in the wind man. Ive givin up with actually trying to reason with wackos. :winkwink: :winkwink:

Higher taxes on the RICH dumbass. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet said they didn't need Bush's tax cuts. Um..... who knows more about money? Bush or the top 2 richest guys on the plant worth a combined $100 billion? Hmmmm.

Rich creates jobs is bullshit. If I win $300 mil in the Powerball I'm not creating no god damned job for no one. Also I'm more than likely going to put most of the money away. So that means it's NOT getting spent. Our economy is reliant of consumer spending. Give $100 to 3 million poor people and I guarantee it's getting spent. who shops at wal-mart rich or poor? Um..poor. Wal-Mart all by itself is responsible for 1/8 of our ecomony.

Notice that Linkster... and thought WTF?

They obviously need a load of software to pull the remaining bodies from under the rubble and house the homeless.

Classic case of charity beginning at home :winkwink:

BTW stickyfingerzdotnet - Can't say I ever saw you "reason" with wackos or anyone on any thread - and this thread is another example.

man this thread is funny

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh Thought so too!!! :thumbsup

If it's not getting spent, then it's getting invested somewhere... and last time I checked investing is a good thing...

Stop causing confusion woj :winkwink:

Erm did you understand what Woj was saying?
