It's Good Work. . .

The Blog | Arianna Huffington: It's Good to Be King (and it Ain't Bad to be Vice President Either!) | The Huffington Post: "
And while no one is claiming that Cheney has any secret bank accounts (or even accounts in secure undisclosed locations), it's worth noting that Cheney and his wife's income in 2005 was $8.8 million, the bulk of it from stock options accumulated during his days at Halliburton, a company that has no less than 17 subsidiaries incorporated in offshore tax havens. Indeed, during Cheney's time as CEO of Halliburton, the number of the company's offshore tax haven subsidiaries rose from 9 to 44. This kind of corporate sleight of hand is siphoning off an estimated $100 billion a year in collectable revenues from the U.S. Treasury."

Deadeye Darth can buy an entire covey of custom shotguns with that kind of money.
