Well, for years I have been saying that Microsoft was the most evil company in the country. Their bullying of computer manufacturers and their flagrant anti-trust machinations have always made them number one in my book. But recently I've had to re-evaluate the list. Here's the top three most evil U.S. companies starting with #3.

#3)-MICROSOFT

Just because I can't take them off the list just yet...lol...

#2)-WALMART

Yeah, they save us lots of money. I admit, we buy a lot of my son's stuff here. $6.82 for a sleep set? That's crazy...but these guys are evil. Their workers have the highest medical insurance payments of any company in the U.S. A California jury awarded $172 million to thousands of employees at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. who claimed they were illegally denied lunch breaks.There was a sex discrimination lawsuit filed alleging denial of advancement and training, lower wages, sexually hostile work environment and retaliation. They bully manufacturers and a price that will practically negate any profit they may make because they are the kings of retail. You must dance to their tune. And honestly, the stores are ugly. Target is about a thousand times better looking. But, damn, they have cheap prices...I've been seduced by the dark side...lol... But even Walmart can't TOUCH the evil incarnate that is number one....

#1) Ford Motor Company

No one can come even remotely CLOSE to Ford. These guys have killed COPS, for God's sake. The Crown Victoria model has some kind of problem that, if hit correctly, will rupture the gas tank and explode. They KNEW about this problem but denied it....In the city of Dallas, 14 officers died in seperate incidents where their Crown Vics were struck and exploded into flames. The city decided to not use them anymore. A WHOLE CITY said nope, we're not putting our cops in these. Ford tried to keep that on the DL...a couple of weeks ago here in New York a Crown Vic cab was struck by a van and burst into flames...the driver was killed...
Then they had an issue that affects possibly EVERY Ford vehicle...A cable that runs past the fuel line and the coolant can overheat and cause the car to burst into flames, even if the car isn't running! Ford said that those were just separate, unconnected instances...even though cars and homes have been lost due to it. And don't even get me started on that whole bad tire rollover issue from a few years back. They tried to blame the tire maufacturer but they are just a culpable...and then this goody from the other day:

Ringwood residents suing Ford over toxic dumping


January 19, 2006

RINGWOOD, N.J. -- People in this rural northern New Jersey community have been living on one of the state's worst toxic waste dumps for years, and one of America's biggest car manufacturers is to blame, according to a lawsuit filed on behalf of more than 700 current and former residents.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday against Ford Motor Co. alleges Ford transported toxic waste, including paint sludge and heavy metals, from a car manufacturing plant in Mahwah to Ringwood and dumped it in landfills, open pits and abandoned mine shafts during the 1960s and '70s.
Lawyers for the residents said Ford intentionally concealed the extent of the dumping and its possible effects on area residents, and later told them it was cleaned, all the while knowing the area was a health hazard.
"Our clients have breathed it. They've touched it. They've ingested it," Vicki Gillam of The Cochran Law Firm said Thursday at a news conference near one of the contaminated sites. "They're innocent. They didn't know. But Ford did."

Wow. Ford, you are, and will be for the forseeable future, the most evil company in America. Congratulations.
