Tax cuts pay off for Bush, Cheney

April 13, 2004 | WASHINGTON (AP) --

President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney reaped tax benefits last year from the cuts that they pushed through Congress and that Democrats have criticized as a boon to the rich.

The government's top two executives, both wealthy men, paid smaller shares of their income in federal taxes in 2003 than in the year before, according to returns released Tuesday by the White House.

1. But it's Clinton's fault Bush earned so much

If he hadn't have raised the president's pay to $400,000 Bush wouldn't have needed such a big tax cut.
