see most of the companies on that list as evil and don't care about the millions that go to charity... and some of it is that they are giving to themselves in a round-about sort of way in some cases.

None of the Koch family foundations appear on that list, even they're some of the richest mo-fos in the nation. And certainly there appears to be no corporate foundation.

They're apparently spending all their money on politics, not charitable work.
