    Actually the Federal Trade Commission has already investigated this
    and found it to be the best example of free enterprise today. Amway
    has been in existance for 33 years. It's NOT a question of DOES it
    work. IT DOES WORK!

    It's clear you have no idea what you ar talking about. The plan
    does NOT work on multiples of 10, although you are free to sponsor
    as many as you wish. The FTC approved the plan based on a 6-4-2
    distribution. 

    This means you sponsor 6, each of those 6 sponsor 4 and each of
    those 4 sponsor 2. That makes a total of 79 distributors in each
    directs group.

    You expect others to listen to your viewpoints, but you refuse
    to listen to anyone else? Why should anyone give any consideration
    to what you have to say if you won't do the same for others? That
    doesn't make any sense at all.

    I know what Mary K is, but I don't know anything about their
    marketing plan, nor do I have a desire to hear anything about.
    Not that I'm against it, I'm not. I don't go around bad-mouthing
    other MLMs, ALL the good ones will survive, the others will go
    away. Everyone has different needs, and different ways of meeting
    those needs. Mary K may do it for you, that's great. But don't
    go around bad-mouthing Amway, when you don't know anything about
    it! If you listen to the plan, and deceide it's not for you, great,
    but that doesn't make it bad for everyone else.

>I sympatize with you.They almost got Me but Bruce Williams saved Me.

    There are over 2 million distributors world wide. That is a VERY
    small percentage of the population. Considering they've been at
    it for 33 years, just how long do you think it will take to get
    the other 99.9% of the population involved?
