While the list may not be totally accurate, at least the companies listed have not asked for government (taxpayer) bail outs.

I see starbucks is on the list. I can't imagine how it made it. It is laying off staff, closes stores, yet buys a new corporate jet, (it has three aircraft as it is). This new jet has been used for personal use, not just business. I am not against corporete aircraft, in fact I think for companies as large as Starbucks they are a neccessity, but using it for personal use while laying off workers? They cost to run it to Hawaii and back might have kept a few employees working. I hope the mai tais were worth it.
