Southern Poverty Law Center brings in the big bucks

We're on a lot of hit lists for money. Here's one that won't get a dime--but I haven't heard from them lately. Southern Poverty Law Center--the guys who publish lists of hate groups. They take in about $34 million a year (probably by sending mailings to rich white folks feeling guilty about their wealth), have assets of about $230 million, and pay their CEOs over $300,000/yr. I keep telling you, poverty is big business for the the middle class. If poverty were to disappear tomorrow, thousands would be out of work, and we could start the cycle all over!

Information from Charity Navigator. The good news is it takes zero government dollars.

An excellent analysis of one of America's most profitable "non-profits."

Last year the SPLC frightened its mostly elderly donor base out of about $86,400 a day... every single day.

The white millionaires who run the SPLC, (they've never hired a person of color to a highly paid position of power in their entire 40 year history), gave themselves 4-, 5- and even 6-digit raises last year as well.
