Gee, wouldn't it be nice to pay only 20% in income taxes. Maybe when I'm rich I can pay much less tax than I do now...

Glad to see the tax cuts are working for somebody....

How much did you send the federal government for social programs this year? 30% of $30,000 doesn't pay for my parking permit each year...

Cheney Took in $178,437 from Halliburton in 2003
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) received $178,437 in deferred pay last year from Halliburton, the Texas oil-field services company he once headed that has received billion-dollar government contracts in Iraq (news - web sites).

Deferred pay is not salary.

Yeah, let's get a poor president in the office. I mean it's about time we have a miserable failure that can't even hold a job or become a success to be the president.

He was appointed by the Supreme court as president in 2000. Your very own commander in chief, that likes war as long as he and his kin aren't at risk. He watched too many holywood movies, and thinks a movie will be made about him in the future. He swaggers like he
is some freakin John Wayne wannabe. What a tool.:disgust:

It would seem then that he has accomplished that with some personal responsibility and the desire to get a job and not collect welfare checks.

HAHAHAHA
Kerry is a gigolo!! he married to get the money! He didn't have any serious cash before he married the Ketchup lady!

...and she just recently took on his last name, for the election, of course.

yeah but I read somewhere that Kerry is worth at least 20 million dollars not counting his wifes fortune. Problem with Kerry other than he is a loser is that its Bill and Hillary again but this time instead of Bill wearing the collar and Hillary leading him around, Its Kerry with the collar and his wife leading him. And they say we have never had a female president, that would make two if Kerry wins LOL

If that's true, why did he sign a prenup?

Well him and his Wifes income are Seperate.


Acounting for inflation, GWB is one of the Richest Presidents of All time. somewher in the Top five. Washington is 1.

If Kerry were to be elected, he would be the richest ever. Not counting his wifes fortune either.

Not even freakin' close. In strictly relative terms, Washington was richer than Bill Gates in his time, and was far and away the richest man in the colonies and the newly formed United States.

Didn't think so.

Dick Cheney on Meet the Press, 9/14/03:

Cheney: "And since I left Halliburton to become George Bush's vice president, I've severed all my ties with the company, gotten rid of all my financial interests. I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had now for over three years."

I would say deferred pay is a financial interest to the company.

I feel the same way.. Maybe some financial expert in here can explain how deferred pay means no associaton to the company -

How much longer will he received "deferred pay" ??? I thought he hasn't been working there for 3 years?

We've been through this before back in BOBDN days 🙂

As I recall, he said he has "no financial interest" in Haliburton. Meaning, if Haliburton went bankrupt tomorrow (or made 10 gajillion dollars), it would not impact him financially. I believe his deferred compensation is insured, and his stock options are held in a charitable trust.

A financial interest means to me, you are "interested" in how well financially a company does.

Edit: Oh and the "how long will he get money?" LTIP's (Long Term Investment Plans) are extremely common at titled positions (director and higher). The company I'm trying to go work at has a 6 year vesting, 6 year payout. So technically 12 years after day 1 (or 6 years after my last day), I'd be receiving funds.
