    think how much good they could do if they were to contribute this much money to the local homeless shelter or food bank or community clinic. they could help so many more people in so many different ways.

    What makes you think they don't already do that quietly. With that wealth it sure would nice if they do something for the poors in the community. Let's not forget, however, how many jobs in our community depend on Tamko and their success.
