Who's to say what's a necessity? Lobbyists, Politicians, Bureaucrats, the food industry, etc.

That's the beauty of having certain items exempt from taxation--in a bureaucracy that list will only grow and benefit everyone. It's a self-controlling entity--if the list grows, the government gets less money, but if the list is too small the politicians don't get elected.

On the other hand, politicians will use Boortz's rebate scheme to payoff their constituents--no difference from what's being done today.

Problem is that it then starts to recreate what we currently have, a tax system that is complicated.

How would that happen?

-- That's not possible. Sure, the rebate can move up and down, but it moves up and down for EVERY American. No class warfare here.
