How the hell do you itemize 6.8 million worth of deductions?

I found an interesting web site (http://www.taxhistory.org/thp/thpwebsite.nsf/Web/PresidentialTaxReturns?OpenDocument). It contains among other things copies of both Dubya's and Tricky Dick Cheney's 2005 tax returns.
Seems Cheney has itemized 6.8 million dollars worth of deductions and has a refund of almost 1.8 million coming back.
No comment, make of it what you will.

So, all that money will go to charity.
Right?

Obviously, you donate a lot of underpants (boxers not briefs) to the poor.
Seriously though dude, rich people don't pay taxes.

Small potatoes compared to corporate tax refunds.

Of course not. It'll all go into "alternative fuels research", "global warming research", and "gun safety education".
Seriously though, it may go into The American Heart Association.

Bush has a bank account that generates over $300k a year in interest?... fuck... I wish my account had that much in it...
And how does Cheney get just under $300k a year of tax exempt interest?
And why did Cheney's wages jump from about $400k in 2004 to $7,000k in 2005? Maybe this is why he's such a shit VP. He can't just concentrate on one job and to be constantly doing everything.

He's actually moonlighting as a lapdancer for upper-class women to earn all of that money. He earns $2000k a year, plus tips.

Nah, that would imply he has some kind of sympathy for other human beings, which obviously isn't the case, seeing how gracefully he accepted his target's apology :mad: ...
If i'd meant that i would've included it in the first ""'d charities, before i'd said "seriously".
I like where you're going with it, though. In a way.

I think he's on that thread about Bush being a "dumbass".
But if it makes you feel better, this'll be the last time today i'll invoke the image of Cheney's nipples and what flavour He imagines them to be.

It's a combination of the two, I reckon.

I'll just assume Cheney isn't human and therefore doesn't have any nipples. Thank you.

I think you'd probably need a regiment of them, to be honest.

A regiment of tax lawyers... What a deadly force that would be. They could conquer entire nations in a matter of days without firing a bullet, just by utilizing their extensive knowledge of tax codes to literally consume everybody else's very will to live.

I classify lawyers as terrorists, so they'd just get shot ... :)

That may have been an engineering augmentation/defect.

Which post was that? Dish, dish! ;)
Perhaps it's detachable - somewhat like or perhaps EVEN the one Hillary snipped off Bill after that gratuitous Monica fiasco. The buck stops .... there. Kinda like a brain slug. I don't have to imagine much why Bush isn't *wearing* it ... i think he's *taking* it. :D

That's alot of wrinkly legs.

Probably somewhere a bit lower so his sycophantic party subordinates can still get a nibble while he's making public pronouncements at the podium.
