4. Halliburton, KBR, ENRON. There are probably many others making money
from the war in Iraq, but we just don't know their names.

5. Microsoft.
They don't exist to make a product that suits people's needs. They actually hate the people that buy their products - read one of their licence agreements if you don't believe me. (That's the thing you click "I agree" to before the software will work). They only exist to extend their monopoly into as many areas as possible and destroy the competition. Once the competition is destroyed they cease all product development. (Witness how everyone was stuck with IE 6 once Netscape had been killed off; they never did a damn thing with IE for years after that until Firefox eventually forced them to do some more development on their browser).

They really are a cancer that exists only to siphon money of individuals and businesses alike; if they were to cease existing tomorrow the entire world would be better off.

7. GM
As a former GM owner, I have several grievances - one is that they rebrand Daewoo vehicles and try to pass them off as low-end GM models. They have their disputes with the labor union. GMAC is a fucking pain in the ass to deal with, especially if you lease a vehicle. Any car not made in the US breaks down easily. My Pontiac lasted about five years. Their after market equipment sucks.
