Not exactly the same as so many wealthy dems who donate to their own family foundations. They write the laws to allow themselves to get more and more power and wealth.
But, I think the liberals/radicals/Democrats have their panties in a twist about Cheney because he made so much money from Halliburton. The name Halliburton causes a pavolvian reaction in some liberals. Since he made money from that company, in their minds, he should donate said money to charity or educational institutions. It’s not something he should do out of his altruism, instead, it’s something that is required, in the liberal mindset.
