Running a Non-Profit Is Not A Bad Business

When I was younger, I often thought that instead of running a for-profit business, I would have been better off running a non-profit, especially a religious organization. Another example of the financial gains possible in the non-profit world is an organization entitled National Center for Employment of the Disabled. They were able to obtain $1.2 billion in federal contracts for army uniforms on a non-bid basis on the assumption that at least 75% of their labor force consisted of the disabled. Well, they were just a little shy of that mark; 7.8% of their labor force was disabled. I wonder what they paid their executives.

It's a great country!
