but not to far.

quote:
Yesterday, several major news outlets reported that Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin’s celebrity daughter, was paid $262,500 for work at an abstinence nonprofit called the Candie’s Foundation. ThinkProgress reviewed the Candie’s Foundation 990 forms and found that the nonprofit spent only $35,000 in grants to health clinics and teen counseling organizations — meaning that Bristol’s salary from the nonprofit was seven times the amount spent on actual teen pregnancy prevention.


Bristol Palins response: The legally required Nonprofit Disclosure Form 990 information is part of an anti-Palin conspiracy.

I wish my mom had been a famous quitter.

So, if they are all doing it, it is OK. Typical radical conservative non-thinking.

And how much did each organization spend on activities??? I would bet the United Way 50X more on activities than exec compensation.

You got a link to that?



As for the Candies Foundation, they defended her pay stating that she had the best name and face recognition of any one suggested, and that teens PAID attention to the ad which was the point.

Neither of these is an example of what we are talking about here. And don't ask me to 'splain why, Lucy.
