It's like a litany of exploiters.

Notice all those Waltons? Wal-Mart, of course. They pay their employees dirt, by the way, and also use employee insurance to reduce their taxes.

Nothing good to say about them at all.

read an article today about how companies are sucking up to UN by donating money to UN organisations. examples of Mcdonalds and Nestle were given.
also another article about how companies and governments manipulate the media to give false information to make themselves look ethical.
there is a book going to be published soon about this its called "disinformation" and it sounds interesting.
