Jabbers your "Raw Story" article is from 05 if you'd pay attention--and Cheney gave all his profits to charity--
I'll go back to my initial recommendation --get off these liberal blogs and find out whats really going on in the world--
On Haliburton/Cheney you might want to read fact check org

Thats if you beklieve what he says vs what your blogs tell you

You see Spy I can look at all your proposed tax increases as doom and gloom or as a challenge to reduce what I'm already paying. I don't mind paying my fair share--but if it gets overbearing I can get down to any income necessary--and be the recipient rather than funder of your entitlement programs.
--and I won't be by myself--you can bet the farm you will see many boomers convert their business to LLC's prior to reaching 62.
