Makes no sense. I've never seen him do anything here but state his opinion. Maybe it was something on a stock board...

Remember Al Gore donating a whole $300 to charity? Bush, Cheney Earnings Documented By Scott Lindlaw Associated Press Writer Friday, April 13, 2001; 4:36 p.m. EDT CRAWFORD, Texas –– President Bush reported earning $894,800 last year, while Vice President Dick Cheney took in $36 million, according to income-tax documents released Friday. The Bush family paid $240,342 in federal taxes, the Cheneys $14.3 million. Both families released tax information in Crawford, Texas, where the president is spending the weekend. Bush released a complete federal Form 1040, without attachments. Cheney released only a summary prepared by the White House. The Bushes reported donating $143,300 to charity, $75,000 of it out of royalties from his biography published during the presidential campaign last year, "A Charge to Keep." The donations from the book sales went to three organizations: Boy Scouts of America, Boys and Girls Clubs of America and Girls Inc. The Cheneys donated stock options worth $7.8 million to three beneficiaries: Capital Partners for Education, George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates and the University of Wyoming. They also donated $41,646 to other, unspecified charities. The bulk of Bush's income came from $549,236 in interest from investments, held in state and federal blind trusts. He also reported $138,358 in capital gains. He reported earning $70,554 in salary. Bush was governor of Texas until resigning in December. Bush took $150,198 in deductions, but did not publicly disclose what they were. The Bushes were entitled to a federal income tax refund of $244,534. They elected to apply about half – $127,220 – to their 2001 tax bill. They were repaid the difference of $117,314. Bush had prepaid $475,000 as estimated tax.
