Do you feel that someone that heads a charitable organization should not make a huge salary?

Asked by MagicalMystery (900points) May 28th, 2010

i was on a website called Charity Navigator, where you can see the financial information of charities that interest you. i see that the Susan Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (not sure if that’s the exact name of it but the very popular pink ribbon is the logo) is headed by someone who makes about $500,000 annually. PETA’s Ingrid Newkirk makes about $40 or $50,000, by contrast. Not getting into any mudslinging about PETA or Ingrid Newkirk or her tactics (personally i like them but i know many people do not) does it bother you if you donate money to a charity where the President or whatever their title is makes a huge salary? or do you feel the salaries are justified, because there is a lot of work involved heading a large corporation, and charity or not, they should be paid accordingly?
