The Government should do more to promote Jewish businesses.

I would also like to take this opportunity to bring to the members' attention the fact that my opponent is only 15 years old and I think that deserves to be recognised when it comes to the voting period. That said, I'm sure he wouldn't want me to cut him any slack on account of his relative youth and I will duly answer his arguments to the best of my ability. My opponent's first contention relies upon the supposition that people in 21st Century America would behave in the same way as some people that were indoctrinated with Nazi propaganda did in 1930's and 40's Germany. I don't think they would and I can prove it. Firstly, American consumers willingly pay the extra for their food so that billions of dollars can be donated to Jewish certification outfits every year. This is called the ‘Kosher Tax'. For those of you who live outside the US, hundreds of thousands of separate food products sold in the United States carry a (K) or (U) symbol on the packaging which denotes that a Jewish-owned certification company has approached the manufacturer of the product and demanded a hefty sum in return for providing a rabbi to declare the product in question "kosher" with the threat of a boycott from the Jewish and conservative Christian communities being offered as an extra incentive to hand over the cash. For example, just one of these Jewish certificate outfits, OK Kosher, collects money from over 1,500 different food manufacturers. . http://zope.gush-shalom.org... . http://www.okkosher.com... That may sound like some sort of clandestine scam run along the lines of a protection racket, but in the US this Kosher Tax caper is perfectly legal and since the American public don't complain about it we must assume that they view the tax as a way of showing their affection for Jewish businessmen. Secondly, people actually trust Jewish businessmen with very large amounts of money, because, not despite, the fact that they are Jewish. For example, Bernie Madoff, perhaps America's best known Jewish businessmen, counted many vulnerable elderly people as well as Jewish charities and high net worth Jews amongst his customers. Yes, his investment scheme turned out to be a massive fraud and his clients lost $65 billion between them, but that's not the point – the point is his customers trusted him because he was Jewish, even if they weren't Jewish themselves. . http://nymag.com... His second and third contentions relate to the legality in the United States of daubing Jewish shop windows with Stars of David and erecting signs proudly advertising their Jewish ownership on their doors. Since I am not American, I don't feel qualified to argue with him on American law and the Constitution but I will say that both could and should be changed in order to accommodate my proposal. You see, it's not just the Jewish businessmen that I am concerned about: it is their families as well. Goodwill and generosity doesn't put food on the table and I would hate to think that little Jewish kiddies were going to bed hungry because their fathers were too modest to promote their businesses properly. In conclusion, I urge you to vote Pro, if not for the sake of Jewish businessmen themselves, then for their unnecessarily impoverished dependants. Thank you.
