I have lost many of friends with Amway and seen plenty of people go broke and miserable. The amazing thing is most of them were seemingly bright and well educated.
I remember how the Dems (successfully) convinced voters that a local politician was a Nazi because his campaign took money from an organization which was affiliated with another organization which was affiliated with another organization which was borderline neo-Nazi.
That's all I needed.
Have a friend [not a Mormon] who worked for NuSkin, degree in Biology and worked ongoing in the Bio Medical Field...NuSkin a direct selling company of personal care, nutrition and technology.
NuSkin is publically traded and just posted a second record quarter.
Exchange NYSE (US Dollar)
Price $43.19

NuSkin is really into the natural, organic developement of skin care, no dies and child friendly, not tested on animals [thought the libs liked all that?] etc.
Another bogus Lefty hit piece which will go nowhere.
I guess Avon is a Ponzi scheme, as well or Tupperware... ;)
MSNBC and Schemes?
“Utah’s multilevel marketing industry”
“Utah’s multilevel pyramid schemes”
Fixed it.
Mormons seem to have a strong attraction to money-making schemes of all different kinds.
It’s receiving million dollar donation from shell companies that dissolve that is suspicious. Then discover they’re part of the good-old-boy network at Nu Skin.
That makes both Bachmann and Perry donors look like choir boys.
See #7
Lefties demand that multi-level companies be investigated by the "authorities" and destroyed. The only problem is that if you try to keep people from taking their own risks and spending their own money, you have to take away their liberty to start a business of any kind.
There's an abundance of information available on these companies, both the good and the bad. Caveat emptor is just not that tough. Nu Skin is a long-lived, solid company that's quite ethical. Not that I can imagine myself being in essentially 24-hour retail sales. But there's nothing intrinsically wrong with the business model for those who can.
What Lefties don't like about multi-level companies is that about 85 percent of the distributors are family-oriented, self-starting, free-market conservatives.
I’m sick of people telling me that we should support Mitt because he’s been vetted. That’s BS! There’s a ton of dirt on him that won’t be exposed until he’s the nominee and then we’re screwed.
Was e-mailing as u replied.
FOCUS PEOPLE!! OR LOSE.
Well, yeah, but:
“After the sponsorship deal was announced in 1999, Romney appeared at the company’s 10th international convention in Salt Lake City, where more than 10,000 of the company’s distributors had assembled for a meeting. Romney took the stage to address the crowd, telling them that both Nu Skin and the Olympics are “about taking control of your life and managing your own destiny.”
I would say he’s more than a friend of a friend of a friend. I don’t know if the company is any good or not, but he can’t say he never heard of them.
It’s the million dollar shell companies that’s the problem up there. (And the fines don’t speak too well, either.)
No Republican candidate walks on water. I’d even vote for Cheech and Chong over Zero.
FoxNews is giving him a pass, and so is everyone else. They only attack conservatives
This guy, Romney, is John Kerry on steroids.
Would you vote for Kerry over the conservatives in this race?
I’m editing a tell-all book about someone involved with the company at the very top. Can’t say much more, but if you’re interested in hearing more, please ping me.
When Amway's scumbag founder Dick DeVos was running for MI governor, tons of Freepers jumped down my throat for bashing him.
There is NO way I’d vote for Romney or Huntsman............
