Cheney's income 12 times of Bush’s


US Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife earned 8.82 million dollars last year, some 12 times the amount President George W Bush made, the White House said Friday.

But the Cheneys donated 6.9 million dollars of their income to charity, cutting their net income to a more manageable 1.96 million dollars -- meaning that they will get a tax refund of 1.9 million dollars.
