Bristol Palin getting rich for having baby out of wedlock.

From Hunter at Daily Kos...


Think Progress:
In 2009, Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol joined a teen pregnancy prevention nonprofit called the Candie’s Foundation. Today, the Associated Press reported that the Candie’s Foundation released its 2009 tax information, revealing that Bristol was paid a salary of $262,500.

But a closer examination of the tax form by ThinkProgress shows that the group disbursed only $35,000 in grants to actual teen pregnancy health and counseling clinics: [...] Thus, the nonprofit paid Bristol over seven times what it paid to teen pregnancy prevention groups.

Holy hell, Bristol Palin got a quarter million bucks in salary to talk about teen pregnancy?

I think the takeaway message here is that baby out of wedlock = BEST. DECISION. EVER.
