Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Tax documents show unwed mother Bristol Palin earned more than $262,000 for her role in helping raise awareness for teen pregnancy prevention in 2009.

The most recent data for The Candie's Foundation that's posted online by research firm GuideStar shows compensation at $262,500 for the now 20-year-old daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee.

Bristol Palin was 18 when she was appointed as a teen ambassador for the New York-based foundation in 2009, months after giving birth to son, Tripp. She and the 2-year-old boy's father, Levi Johnston, are no longer together.
Foundation officials did not immediately return calls for comment Tuesday. But Palin family attorney John Tiemessen responded in an email but wouldn't comment about Palin's compensation.

Great racket if you can be a part of it, I guess.

1. Think about how much better use that

money could have been put to if it had been used to provide reproductive health care for young women.

2. Looks like she has turned teen motherhood into a payout.

Kind of an opposite impression of what you need to discourage it.

3. The hoi polloi are not invited to be a part of this

It's just another device to funnel riches to the 'chosen few.' I believe that rubbing our noses in it so blatantly is a good thing; it hastens the day that the peasants go for their pitchforks.

4. Donors Got a Tax Deduction Too

I'm not sure what charitable purpose is served by paying that much money to a single person to "educate" others on the evils of teen pregnancy. It's a huge racket.
