Amway Nation, part 7

The ad for the scam campaign for governor.

Dick DeVos, speaking in a voiceover: "It's an injustice when there are people in this state who are willing to work and they can't find work here. These are great people. These are folks who want to work and maybe through no fault of their own, their prior company went out of business. The next governor of Michigan has got to change that. I'm Dick DeVos. A Michigan manufacturer. I'm a job-maker. I haven't spent my life in politics. We have a tremendous amount in this state to offer, but unfortunately we're not putting it together right now. We need to be expanding opportunity. We've demonstrated very clearly that Michigan manufacturing, Michigan-made products can compete in every corner of the world. Life sciences, biotechnologies offer tremendous opportunities for us to diversify the economic base of our state. I believe as governor, I have to work for change. With all our strengths, it's time to pull together, get things done — and take Michigan in a new direction."

A reminder of key facts about Amway is in order:
1. You inherited the business, DICK.
2. Until very recently, those products could only be purchased through a distributor intent on "recruiting" you. Way to put products on the market.
3. A large part of the Amway ethos is that J-O-Bs are for losers.

Also, DICK. Stop saying "work for change." Who Moved My Cheese is so 2000.
