Agreed. But apparently Howard Schulz has quite a clear conscience in 
that regard.

What mystifies me is the promise that $5 = $35:

"The donations to Create Jobs for USA will not be loaned to the CDFIs. 
They will be turned into capital — equity that can be leveraged. Pinsky 
and others told me that that equity can be leveraged 7 to 1, meaning 
that if 10 million Starbucks customers donate $5, that will support $350 
million worth of lending."
