Once at my blog I had a distributor telling me I should worry more about the illegal chopping of trees in Amazonia and stop wasting time fooling around with Agel. And that is one example. I have a bag full of kind sugestions to chose from: drugs, oil prices, political corruption, child abuse, REAL pyramid schemes, you-name-it-you-got-it…

And here’s the best part: The numbers used to draw that conclusion were provided by the MLMs themselves.

It’s easy to say that there are more important things I should be doing. No matter what cause I choose, someone will always deem something else more important. I think that unless you’ve worked with as many former MLMers as I have, you can’t understand why it’s so important. I have seen so much financial wreckage left by these MLMs that sell dreams using deception.

You seem to really have it out for MLM’s. Are their any that are legitimate? What makes them different from STE? Thanks.

Secondly there are many companies and institutions that do suck billions of dollars out of households each year and MLM’s are not 1 of them. While you rail against companies trying to give everyday people the opportunity to start a low cost home based business. The investment bankers on Wall Street have been robbing people blind. And it turns out they have been losing billions and billions of dollars, while making millions every year in salary. What’s worse is they now want the US Gov’t (taxpayers like you and I) to bail them out with a $700 billion bailout package while they take off in their private jets to their homes in the Hamptons and Palm Beach.

According to the NY Post, 2 years ago Goldman Sacs paid out $40 billion in bonuses and it’s estimated that every employee got an average of $600,000 as a bonus check. Goldman Sacs is now bust, and if it were not for Berkshire Hathaway’s $5 billion loan they would have their hand out too begging for free money from Uncle Sam too.

And what about the US Gov’t. $10 billion a month in Iraq? Our teachers have to buy supplies out of their own pockets (while being grossly underpaid), while we build schools there. $9 billion is still unaccounted from the initial invasion of Iraq, and last I heard, no one is even looking for that missing money;it’s been stolen. Medicare fraud is estimated to be at $200 billion a year, Earmarks in Congress $40 billion, welfare rolls are bursting at the seams $500 billion, the list of theft and fraud here is endless.

While I disagree with your assessment of STE, I love your passion. There are better targets for your efforts and your time would be better spent going after politicians, governement officials, and corrupt bureaucrats who pilfer the treasury for their own greedy gains. Even if what you say about MLM’s is true(which it’s not), they don’t really effect very many people. However, the Federal gov’t does.

Fight against this $700 billion bailout. Fight the $10 billion being wasted in Iraq each month. Don’t let Congress end up spending $2 Trillion to bail out millionare investment bankers when middleclass families are left by the wayside. Your tenacity could be better spent on bigger causes. Just a suggestion.

I’m entitled to give my opinion that MLM is a bad business for the distributors. Although I do believe many of these companies violate the law, violation of the law is not the only standard we should apply when determining if something is good or bad. Cutting myself doesn’t violate any laws that I’m aware of, but I think most people would deem it to be a bad thing.

And of course, you’ll likely follow this up with the standard argument that if MLMs were doing anything wrong, our government would have shut them down. That’s simply false. Our government chooses not to enforce the laws that most of the MLMs are violating. It doesn’t mean they’re not violating them.
