<<Cheney arranged his massive $36 million severance package to be paid out over a period of years, so as to pay less tax.>>

He's under no obligation to take a pay package that makes his personal taxes high. In fact he owes it to himself and his family to take his pay in a way that creates the least amount of tax liability.

<<Here'something to chew on. According to Dick Cheney's 2003 tax returns, his Halliburton paycheck last year was $178,437. His vice president's paycheck was $198,600.>>

I don't recall the numbers or the qualifiers but we pay huge amounts of money to Senators for the rest of their life. Hell....I don't even think they pay SS on that income.

...so he has "no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind."

So let us say Halliburton goes bankrupt then he does not get his money, right? Isn't it then in his financial interest to keep them solvent through those Iraqi contracts?
