DeVos created jobs if you lived in southeast Asia

As head of Amway, Dick DeVos laid off nearly 1,400 people in Michigan in 1998 and 2000. The 1,400 jobs never came back to Michigan. Amway suffered a net loss in Michigan jobs while DeVos was President. Dick DeVos invested over $200 million in manufacturing plants which created jobs in China. Dick DeVos cares more about creating jobs for Chinese workers, for his own profit, than he does about creating jobs and a secure future for Michigan families. Dick DeVos supports unfair free trade agreements, like NAFTA, and failed Washington policies that send Michigan jobs everywhere else. DeVos supports free trade, despite how it has hurt Michigan – Amway leaders have long supported trade with China and they lobbied for Permanent Normal Trade Relations for China, according to their lobbying disclosure reports. Dick DeVos, though quick to criticize the work of others, has yet to come forward with a detailed, realistic plan of his own, other than political rhetoric. DeVos has been in the race since June and has not offered a single solution to Michigan's economic future.LISTEN: DeVos on the Kevin Fobbs Show Instead of showing bi-partisan leadership in this time of crisis, Dick DeVos, through personal phone calls and media appearances, used his money and political influence to attempt to force Republicans in the Legislature to break their agreement for his own political gain, and at the cost of Michigan jobs. Dick DeVos is playing politics with Michigan working families and putting himself first. I wonder that slimeball at the Detroit News Nolan Finley will talk about this? If you don't know about the Detroit News here's a quick breakdown of the "News" the Detroit News is a right wing rag in a heavy democratic city and the last guy running for governor on the Republican side spent half of his campaign running racist ads against the city guess the newspaper that endorse the Republican running the racist ads? It was the Detroit News and they didn't threaten to pull the endorsement until pressure from local officals, citzens and the mayor got too hot for the Detroit News. And the Michigan "media" is running around acting like Dick DeVos is a breath of fresh air. And I aslo find it funny that the same people complaining about Gov. Granholm are the same people who defended and voted for former Gov. John Engler in his three terms only manage to expand his waistline and his bank account.
