Well, GoodGuide is a bit like that, but they do it a product-by-product basis instead of judging the business as a whole.

Sorting by favorable or unfavorable politics is much harder, since politics is so relative. It could work though - the app could quiz you about your political opinions at the first launch and then display how well/bad a company's policies fit your political ideals.

I think the way to go here is have the user fill out some sort of questionnaire in their preferences section that spec's out their ideals. The the app assigns scores of desirability to scanned objects accordingly. This would allow the user to vote with their dollars in a very powerful and easy way.
