Bush & Cheney's Tax Returns
Have you ever wondered how much the President and Vice President make?
Well, you no longer have to wonder. Bush & Cheney's tax returns were made public in Washington on Friday. Laura and George Bush show an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $735,180 (only $400,000 of that was presidential salary income), while the Cheneys' show an AGI of $8.82 million (due mainly to exercising stock options).
More from MSNBC on Bush and Cheney's tax returns.
To see the actual returns themselves…

Surprisingly, the presidential salary is only $400,000. I was expecting it to be a lot higher.
