Amway Nation part 22

Dick Devos is a con-man. There. I said it.

DeVos says criticism of Amway equals criticism of nearly 4,000 workers at one of West Michigan's largest employers, whose philanthropic efforts have helped revitalize Grand Rapids.

"It's a terrible message for a sitting governor to go after a major, major manufacturer, a major made-in-Michigan exporter and major employer," DeVos said. "It sends one more terrible signal" that Michigan is hostile to business.


I vomit every time a billionaire complains that someone is "going after" him.

Hey Frankie,

I too want to throw up when DeVos starts whining. I don't have any sympathy for a billionaire who can’t claim responsibility for his actions.

Besides his Amway connection, I read sometime in April in Rolling Stone that DeVos is a major contributor to the dominionsists, a group of hard core religious believers who want to take over the US government. He has reportedly dropped $5 million to help fund this group of extremists.

Now I am a religious person but this crosses the line. Interpreting the bible literally to drive public policy threatens our freedoms and shouldn't be tolerated. We have to be on the watch in all areas of government.

Have a great day!
