>What we learned next, pretty much floored me personally. I learned that major food companies throughout America actually pay a Jewish Tax amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars per year in order to receive protection. This hidden tax gets passed, of course, to all non-Jewish consumers of the products. The scam is to coerce the companies to pay up or suffer the consequences of a Jewish boycott. Jewish consumers have learned not to buy any kitchen product that does not have the (U) the (K) and other similar markings...< Get your tax accountant to write off the percentage of the "Jewish Tax" on from your income taxes, it is legal. If you have an accountant that is. God forbid he is Jewish...

i think you are confusing this with jesse jackson. this isn't a scam; it isn't very lucrative; not all jews are kosher- so not all would not buy the products if they didn't have the symbol; some non-jews also are interested in knowing that the products don't contain pork, etc. companies also pay to have approval from american heart association, weight watchers and others

Companies pay for a kosher symbol to increase their market, for the same reason they pay advertisers. There is no "tax", no one is forcing them to get a "K" or to advertise, they do both because they think it's good business. Of course, the fraction of the cost of goods reflected in getting a "K" on the label is infinitesmal compared to the price of advertising. You are really making yourself look foolish, posting all this drivel.
