Hatch is in MLM central -- Utah. He is bought and paid for. These MLMs tell him wild tales of the American Way and entrepreneurship etc. What about selling overpriced, overhyped products MLM style is in the least bit entrepreneurial? Absolutely nothing! Many very well educated and well read people are not aware of the inherent fraud that is MLM. I believe MLM does severe economic harm and since 97% or more of those involved lose money the harm is self-evident.

Hatch depends on those MLMs to fund his campaigns. Who is going to bite the hand that feeds them?
