content: Since when is an (((optional))) certification process a tax anyways? I've brought products to market and like you say kosher is something we as a company could choose to do or not. Now some of the inspection programs to ship to China, and the like, are not optional (though shipping to other countries is optional) and suck.  A secret tax would be the shit most Americans are unaware or like the gasoline and diesel tax. Also most of the shit people never understand the full effect of because its automatically taken out of their paychecks. Anyways good points.
