My above statement was really meant as a joke, but in all seriousness I'm sure there are very few large corporations in any end of the business spectrum that haven't fucked over the little guys for better profits. I generally try to buy clothes from the USA, just to cut down on the chances that they came from some 8 year-old with no shoes, but I don't really care if anyone else does. It all depends on how liberal you are, or how much you detest underhanded cutthroat business dealings. I would start with the businesses that you currently support, then do some research on them to see where they've been dipping their fingers. If you can find some businesses that you can stomach, then tell people. Business is ugly. Capitalism is competitive. People will always find an edge, and try to rig the game. Some worse than others, but in general, I'd be willing to bet that most companies on the Fortune 500 list have some pretty shady pasts. An important thing to look at is what kind of charity work the big companies do. Sometimes they try to pave over with good deeds. Phillip Morris/Kraft Foods/Miller Brewing is famous for the millions upon millions of dollars they give back to communities all over the world. No company is pure evil in my opinion.
