And how does this compare with Teresa Heinz Kerry? Do the words 'small
potatos' come to mind? An odd thing for such 'compassionate conservatives.'

Baloney. Nobody *has* to give money away for tax reasons. Besides, Bart
was just saying that the Kerrys donate relatively little. Which is it,
are they compelled to give away tons of money to keep taxes down, or are
they skinflints?


Do a break down on % of total income and you will see the Cheney's
give much more of what they have.

Interesting you should say that, yesterday I took a gander at Cheney's
info. From what I've read, they have not given a dollar out their
pocket. Mrs. Cheney has donated future earnings from her book(s) and
Dick claimed charity deductions for speaking engagements.

The funny thing is that my wife and myself donate an order of magnitude
more of our incomes, it is real money that we could in fact spend on
ourselves instead, and yet we pay almost as much in tax as the Cheneys.
If they are an example of 'compassionate conservatism'and Christian
charity, then those are just fancy words for being pikers & skinflints IMHO.
