Has anyone calculated how much the Bush family oil business and Cheney's businesses have earned in 8 yrs?

Question

You all seem to be missing the point. I simply want to know how much these two families have earned in the past 8 years. WEBSITES with statistics. Everyone seems to know how much the Clinton's earn. It has nothing to do with the election. It has to do with honesty and ethics in politics. Self-interest outweighing the national good. If you can't give real numbers please don't bother answering.

Answer 1

The fault is in the political mess as the liberals hold our citizens hostage and prop up the OPEC economy:

Liberals and Democraps have have blocked drilling in ANWAR, the coast of California, the Gulf of Mexico and the Continental Shelf

They have blocked any new refineries, none built since 1975 and no nuclear plants since 1978.

What do you expect?  Where do you expect the oil to come from?  You can blame the Bush family, Cheney, h**l Bugs Bunny but until we start drilling domestically, we are going see energy prices continue to rise....and Bush, Cheney or Buggs can stop it or change it until we decide to drill.

Did you know the US sits on 1.2 TRILLION barrels of oil?

We use about 20 million barrels a day...do the math.

And take you political smack somewhere else.  The blame for this mess is the environmental clowns and your democratic AND republican chickens.

DO some research instead of your libber kool-aid talking points.

Answer 2

Bush has made less money since taking office then he made before ever becoming president.

Answer 3

I DO recall seeing the numbers in the news a few months back, and they were unremarkable so I didn't bother to remember them.

FWIW, Bush's income was an order of magnitude less than the Clintons'.

Edit: Its not a crime to be wealthy.   If you don't like the way things are being done, run for office.    You couldn't pay me enough to be President.

Answer 4

Have you calculated how much energy you waste on envy of them?

Answer 5

Probably not as much as Bill Clinton has earned in speaking engagements since he left office. Did you see the numbers when they released their tax info?

Answer 6

Nope.  Whats your point?

Answer 7

The democrats must be in the tank for the POTUS as well. If the Dem's had allowed more drilling and more refinery's, The price would be much lower now. So if President Bush is making more money, its directly related to the Democrats stance.

President and Mrs. George W. Bush reported taxable income of $719, 274 for the tax year 2007. This resulted in a total of $221,635 in federal income taxes paid by President and Mrs. Bush.

The President's 2007 income included salary earned as President and investment income from the trusts in which the President and Mrs. Bush's assets are held. The tax return also reports a $150,000 advance received by Mrs. Bush for the children's book she co-authored with Jenna Bush. Mrs. Bush donated all net proceeds from the advance to Teach for America and the New Teacher's Project.

President and Mrs. Bush contributed a total of $165,660 to churches and charitable organizations, including the Crawford Volunteer Fire Department, Susan G. Komen For the Cure, Malaria No More Fund, Martha's Table, and St. John's Church.
