Corporations, if they never give back to the community, are doing the same thing.  We should not support those that NEVER give back.

Some companies such as Ben and Jerry&#039;s (Before sellout) and Newman&#039;s Own have been wildly successful while giving back extensively to charity and the community.  Target is another company with a plan for giving.</description>
