Good for you. That's how it
should work. If you have a personal problem with the ethics of a company, then simply refuse to do business with them. In the long run, it may not mean jack shit. But, at least it's not
your dollar, that
you earned, lining their pockets.
That said, I wholeheartedly disagree that any company has an
obligation to contribute to the needy. You may choose to reward those companies that opt to do so, with your consumer dollar. But, they are under no
obligation to do so. The only obligation that the executive officers of any company has, is to the investors of that company.
