Obviously in our modern society one needs money to survive, but is it really that important that you have to hire an army of little slaves to do your work for you?
Quite on the contrary, i find MLM highly ethical. I don't know how familiar you are with MLM, but your talk about little slaves suggests that you are not really familiar no offense. Actually your words about an army of little slaves apply to ANY regular business, rather than to MLM.

Now look at my logical chain:

An MLM leader gets his paycheck depending on the volume of products he and his group has purchased, and so does each member of his group => His earnings are directly proportional to his people's earnings => He is interested in his people earning more => He will do all it takes to teach them to work properly.
In other words, every MLM company is interested in high earnings of its affiliates. The richer each affiliate, the richer the company. I think that's very ethical.

Now think McDonalds (or any other business). The business owner is inclined to pay as little as possible to his employees, because the less they get, the more he gets. Now is THAT ethical?
