In Response to Robert Bellavance

I am sorry to hear that those two people at WalMart were not willing to pay the extra fifty cents for their ice cream. It really annoys me when people complain about having to expend a tiny amount of energy more to afford a luxury that they don't need and completely ignore how lucky they are just to have the quality of life that they do. A lot of people around the world aren't even going to eat today, but they complain about ice cream. Give me a break.

And to say that the government doesn't spend enough money on us is ridiculous. They spend too much, hence the enormous deficit that is being increased every year. I can tell those people were very ignorant. Anyways, onto the question.

My answer is that it is not really where the company puts its money to use that influences my decision to buy from them. If they are donating to help suffering people overseas, I think that's great. If they are giving back to the community, I that's great too. In short, I prefer to buy from companies who are putting their money to work, not just into their paychecks.
