Most of the MIC, Walmart and IBM for their heroic efforts in pioneering giving American jobs away (there may be more...those are the ones I watch). And our recent faves (nonfaves) most of the oil companies.

However, I'm not sure there IS a free market, since the largest corporations buy up or destroy the smaller ones, then the largest ones merge.
It's really a monopoly, not a free market ... except for small fry hunters and gatherers.
Really?
Then why do small business account for 52% of all U.S. workers?

Charter Communication.
They should go down in flames.
And it would serve them totally right that as they're going down, they call 911, and get an automated operator that asks them 20 questions before they get to talk to a real person.

McDonald's for being one of the first companies to really exploit our children by targeting them specifically in ad campaigns.
WalMart for destroying small town America
Haliburton- do you think that when Dick Cheney throws back his bed covers in the morning that toads spill out?
Taco Bell- for being so deliciously addictive!
Banks- for being just a bad idea in general

I have a post for you that you might enjoy, it's about the European Union and South American suing Reynolds Tobacco for laundering heroin money with Camel cigarettes -- it's written by a former director of HUD who was forced out of private business by the same firm that represented Camels, )which was the same firm that started the private prison industry).
It's No 3 at this address 'The top 3 unknown conspiracies of our lifetimes': www.abovetopsecret.com...
Star for you, thanks for linking this. I'll read it tonight for sure!
One problem with socialism is that eventually there is no more money to distribute.

I do but apparently you don't. You must be a victim of brainwashing liberal propaganda.
I MADE YOU A POST! 'The only hope for this country is democratic socialism & equal redistribution of wealth' www.abovetopsecret.com...
Thanks for clarifying the issue for me ... if you hadn't spent all the time replying to my posts, I never would have gotten to this point so economically.

I hate Bush's oil companies, Mosanto, and most hated of all Lockheed Martin
Bush's oil companies are a score, not mentioned till you did.
tyty
its the reason for all of our financial pain at this moment.
That [democratic socialism is the only way to save America] is such nonesense and it would do nothing but destroy the U.S.
Is that your goal? If not, then you should get your head out of the sand and realize you are being brainwashed by extreme liberal propaganda. I have no idea where you would even get a crazy idea like that.

Once the corps have gotten so big that they turn to raping the planet of resources, then there's no longer such a thing as "sustainable development" or "sustainable growth" ... once that point is reached, pure greed takes over & the corps have literally ruined Capitalism...especially when it's all based on a "debt-driven" economy instead of an economy based on something of inherent value.
So, to add to my initial post (naming the Fed Res as my all-time least favorite corporation), I should also add "any corp that gets so big as to begin lobbying the government into corruption against the nation's own Laws."

Hey, I have an idea. How about we do what was done in Fight Club?
Bomb all major credit card company buildings and set the debt back to 0?

My worst company hasn't been mentioned yet. General Electric, which responsible for the initial suppression of free energy.
It all went downhill from there.
Good Lord dude, listen to yourself. Socialism is a dead system. It was tried once.
