From the desk of Jane Galt:Radley Balko has a nice piece on ACORN, the living wage activists who were using the exemption laws for managers to pay their leg employees $18k a year for 54 hours of work per week, and pulling out every illegal stop in the book to keep them from unionizing. Interestingly, I was having a conversation yesterday with someone who used to work for ACORN, and he said that he could see why they did it, because having a union for low wage employees would severely hamper his effectiveness. Which is probably true. The problem with that statement is that the managers of nursing homes and food service firms undoubtedly feel exactly the same way.

With a for profit group they are actually supposed to make a profit to justify their high CEO salary (although this is not always true...see Disney), in a non-profit, they don't have to make anything to justify their high CEO salary. Actually, that's not true, but the salary has a pretty high cap on it, and I think I made my point.
Did I?
If your point was that you are an idiot, yes you did.
The top administration of all sorts of non-profit groups get paid quite a bit of money. Just look at unions for instance.
