Annoy a Naderite. Support these job-creating corporations under attack from the authoritarian left.

[wideawake]

Abbott and Enron deserve to be on this list for defrauding taxpayers and stockholders.

[hchutch]

FYI.

Southern Co., the largest electric utility in the United States, grabbed a place on the list for its efforts to defeat sensible air pollution regulations.

I sure enjoy getting their dividend check 4x a year. Pollute on, SO. To he## with the Multinational Monitor and its "sensible" regulations.

[arly]

this list is pathetic !... welcome to a brave new socialist world !! I will be sure to do business with as many of these companys as I can !.

Walmart is responsible for sprawl? I always wondered who to blame for that. Now I know.

What a crock this list is. I would like to see the left list the 10 political blunders that contributed to a better world:

(top nine are all CLinton so we'll skip that) 1. Ralph Nader runs as Green Party Candidate and siphons wining votes away from Al Gore. GW Bush elected and changes the world for the better by populating the Middle East with McDonalds and Walmarts.

Coca Cola was named among the 10 worst for its sponsorship of the first Harry Potter movie and possible sequels, using a children's favorite to hawks its unhealthy product, and for alleged complicity with death squads in Colombia targeting union leaders there.

Magical, broom-riding, Coca Cola death squads, bringing tooth decay to the already toothless Columbians.

Do these hippies realize that Coke and coke are not the same thing?

pardon me, but you are mistaken. When you limit your definition of 'big corporations' to the Fortune 500, then you can't say that they create jobs. For several decades now each decade brings lower total numbers of americans employed by these organizations. These organizations are in fact being beaten out in competition by smaller organizations and they are transferring their jobs to foreign sources. As these organizations do not really serve the interests of the American nation, then it follows that the US government, that exists to serve the interests of the American nation, should not form policy specifically to benefit these big corporations. On the other hand, you may be a republican corporate fascist, so I wouldn't want to offend your religion. If you would get the impression that these big corporations somehow create jobs for Americans, then you may be engaged in worshiping them.

Motorola should be on this list; Motorola is the biggest corporate user of the H1B visa program which is a form of indentured servitude. Motorola does this because they say that the American nation can't produce people who can do the job for them. At the same time Motorola got its' but kicked very badly in a variety of markets resulting in massive layoffs of Americans. A company that beat them up real bad is Nokia. Nokia is a Finnish company. Their main labor market where they get the brains that beat out Motorola is Finland, a nation of 10 million people. Motorola says it can't succeed with the American work force, but Nokia can beat Motorola by employing the Finnish work force.

We should all boycott Motorola. With friends like Motorola we don't need enemies.

Sound like "buy" recommendations to me.

Argenbright, the security company, was named to the list for repeat violations of regulations for airport security. Argenbright's appalling record helped convince Congress to federalize U.S. airport security operations.

A roundabout way to blame 911 on capitalism?

[Snuffington]

contributing to the sprawl that blights the U.S. landscape.

Watch out for this leftist spin-talk. It's the new "global warming."

What the Naderites call "sprawl," a lot of the rest of us call home. We're not trying to ban urban centers, yet nihilistic leftist urbanites are literally trying to ban our homes by demonizing them as "sprawl."

[What Is Ain't]

These behemoths have ripped off the public, polluted the environment, abused their workers and debased our culture

This sounds like a self-description of the organization making the claim as well as an accurate description of their many feeble minded left-wing brethren.

[RussianBear716]

This organization was founded by Ralph Nader .... well that shoots their credibility in the foot, their leftist slant simply confirms it

[T. P. Pole]

ExxonMobil earned a spot on the list for leading the global warming denial campaign and blocking efforts at appropriate remedial action

These guys are glad Exxon and Mobil merged. That way they didn't have to decide which one they disliked more.

[Gimlet]

Job-creating? My eye! Don't know about all on the list but there are some right villains in the bunch. Support enterprise and make some of these dead beat behemoths face justice. Make room for some up and comers to create those jobs without bleeding us all dry with their greed and disregard for anything but their own fat-cat profit margins.

[NC Conservative]

WHERE IS DISNEY? CLINTON'S BUTT BOY SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST TO BE FAIR.

IF HARRY POTTER IS THE REASON COKE IS ON THIS LIST, THEN THIS LIST SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

Enron made the 10 worst list for costing many of its employees their life savings by refusing to let them dump Enron stock from their pension plans, as the company plunged toward bankruptcy.

Does pension plan = 401k in this case? If so, Enron didn't prevent anything. Regulations regarding 401k plan administrators prevented them. Good old governmental regulations to "protect" participants once again came around and bit them in the rear.

As for company stock in general, our company once had a dollar-for-dollar match. I could buy 10K in company stock and they would match it but you couldn't sell the matching shares for 5 years and could only get the match once a year. That's to prevent me from buying 10K in stock, getting the matching shares, selling them later in the day and repeating. They later went to a 10% discount on stock purchased by employees provided you keep it for two years. I could pay 9K for 10K worth of stock, but they were encumbered shares and couldn't be sold for 24 months. You want shares you can sell at any time, don't go for the discount.

There may have been restrictions on stock sales for reasons like those, but Enron did nothing sinister from what I've heard - At least not regarding employees and company stock.

This list is as informative as the '10 worst dressed men' list published by Vogue or whomever.

Want to see the 10 worst dressed men? Go to a homeless shelter.

Want to find 'really bad' corporations? Check the phone book. Many of them have names that start with 'AAAAAA...'.

[mewzilla]

They hit the nail on the head with Argenbright and Enron.
