In one of the largest sums ever donated to charity by a U.S. public official, Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne gave away nearly $7 million last year to help the poor and to medical research.
According to income tax information released by the White House on Friday, the Cheneys' adjusted gross income in 2005 was $8,819,006.
he Cheneys gave more than three-quarters of their income - $6,869,655 - to several charities, including George Washington University's Cardiothoracic Institute and a charity for low-income high school students in the Washington, D.C. area, Capital Partners for Education.
The Cheneys' charitable generosity stands in marked contrast to that of their predecessors, whose sometimes stingy donations became a national embarrassment.
In 1997 for instance, Al and Tipper Gore contributed just $353 to charity, a sum that raised eyebrows even in friendly media circles.
The Los Angeles Times noted, for instance, that the Gores' slender donation "caused some bewilderment in philanthropic circles because of the vice president's 'good guy' image as an advocate for public service and social causes."
The same year the Gores gave $353 to charity, they reported $197,729 in adjusted gross income.

If you/re talking about the Vice President of the United States I don't even think people care whether he is or not.(charitable)
You should post another question about the "10 billion missing in the name of Texas" (Explain it or give a site) because most here do not have any idea what you are talking about.

What 10 billion are you talking about? What does the name of Texas have to do with this? I think that your foot is in your mouth. Probably your hands as well, judging from your typing.

I don't know anything about donations in the name of Texas.
Cheney regularly donates his funds to the Deep Pockets for Cheney Foundation. Also gets donations from GOP members, his cronies and fans all over the country.

Cheney gave more money to Katrina Victims than all the Democrats in Congress put together.
Cheney gave more money than all of Hollywood put together.
Some people just talk.
But some people, like Cheney, do what others blow about.
I WOULD RATHER GO HUNTING WITH CHENEY THAN TO RIDE ACROSS A BRIDGE WITH TED KENNEDY.
lynne C was first, actually. Good work.

Cheney is worse than Bush. If Cheney ran the country, I'd be scared. This guy shoots his own friends "accidently."

I am sure that you are right.
But that charity don't stray to far from home.
Most of us will never see any charity from him.
