The Cheneys' income included the vice president's $205,031 government salary and $211,465 in deferred compensation from Halliburton Co., the Dallas-based energy services firm he headed until Aug. 16, 2000.So Halliburton is paying him more annually than the American taxpayers. No wonder he likes Halliburton better.
Here’s the real kicker, though:
The Cheneys reported adjusted gross income of nearly $8.82 million, a number largely padded with income they received by exercising stock options that had been set aside in 2001 for charity.Nevermind, charity! We changed our minds. Screw ya!
