Good Money For An Ambassador



Bristol Palin earned $262,000 for acting as an ambassador for the Candie's Foundation raising awareness about teen pregnancy prevention. This information was revealed through recent tax documents from 2009. Above is one of the ads she did. Wow, I am in the wrong field. When an 18 year old can make that kind of money for getting pregnant to speak out (in a poor acting performance) about NOT getting pregnant then something is wrong in this world. The Candie's Foundation is a non-profit organization and I am sure they have done some good. Who wants more teen pregnancy? It just proves once again that the term "non-profit" is a misnomer as many people profit tremendously from organizations under this umbrella. Did I tell you about the CEO in my small city who made $1 million in 2009 from the non-profit hospital? No, there is no punch line to this joke. The jokes are our tax laws and the amount that some hospital administrators get paid.
