Didn't President Bush return his Presidential salary to the nation?
i garenty you that bush didnt pay any taxes in 2007. I cant find its tax return and why should i beileve anything that CNN tells me? He paid pay any taxes because there is no law that requiers you to pay income tax
NO HE DID NOT return his salary to the US or the people. He kept it. the only president who never took a salary as a president was John F kennedy. Bush took advanges of the Tax cuts for small business on this tax return. supposely he profit 84.00 from a Oil business.
If the President didnt pay taxes on a preisdent salary of 440,000. then he is not setting an example to other Americas and that can explain why America is in debt. He is not paying his taxes, he is just stealing it.
