Profits, heck of a lot to the Amway intermediaries

When one's point is weak, their voice becomes louder. Instead of making their own point, what is point in hurling epithets. It only shows the arrogance of presenting one's case forcibly.
Let us come to the point. According to the tax paid by the Amway to the Indian government, the ex-factory price of Glister toothpaste is Rs. 17. But it is sold to the end-customer at a whopping price of Rs. 120. Now who is sharing the difference of price. This is only an example.
The direct selling is age-old. The milkman who directly brings milk to your home and the farmer who brings to you vegetables directly from his farm. The direct selling indulged in by the racketeers may be hundred year old but it would not make it legitimate. It was formulated by the fraudsters when there was no law of the land anywhere in the land. That would never make it legitimate. It is a fraud pulled on people for decades and it is high time we put an end to it. They always look for new gullible people to fall prey to the smooth talk and 'good business' oppoeruniry.
About the philosophy of sharing, it is not my philosophy but that of Amway. The Amway while applying for the company registration stated that its philosophy is to allow the consumer of saving additional costs. Instead of saving, he is being shaved while buying a Rs. 17 worth toothpaste for Rs. 120.
Moreover, these intermediaries never got registered as a trader or shopkeeper or a business house though they 'buy' in huge quantities. They never pay any tax to local authorities for running business.
The truth is bitter.

If IBOs are running their Amway businesses as businesses, and not registering them with local authorities as such where required, then they are breaking the law. Many successful IBOs are actually incorporated companies, so your claim the "never got registered" is simply false.

I'd also like you to provide some evidence th Amway says it's "philosophy is to allow the consumer of saving additional costs"

As for Glister, care to give similar examples from competitors? I'd also appreciate a link to your evidence. You make an awful lot of claims on this blog, but never seem to be able to back them up with evidence.
