35. The total money given is net of all employees and the company itself.
It is not all under their control. Election law dictates that contributors specify where they work and that information stays with the donation. If some B&N employees contribute to Republicans, it counts as B&N in the statistics. The difference between being listed at 90% and 100% is unimportant.
