I work for #19 Cardinal Health. I'm please to say our lobby has an everify sign.

Has anyone else noticed how many of those who got government bails outs made the list. Most people were led to believe that the banks were hurting due to all the foreclosures yet they made the list and most of them in the upper half.

49 Microsoft 44,282.0 12,599.0

It takes a lot of hard work to get to #49 on the list of America's top 100 corporations. The fact that labor was performed outside America ( ironic isn't it) country and under slave labor conditions is just a small inconvenience when so much money is at stake.

Take a good look at this picture, because what you're seeing is globalism in action....

The saddest part is #1 Walmart buys a large percentage of products made in China and some other foreign countries.

#64 Disney has items made off shore as well. Some of the clothing was made in Haiti.
#52 Motorola produces its products in Asia. They had research and development and production in Plantation Florida and completely shut it down around 2003.

Was it Perdue or Tyson who got caught with illegals working in their plants? Tyson is # 86 on the list.
