How so? These items should be easily identified. Food and care items are a
no-brainer. What constitutes a "luxury" item can be set by the purchase
price.

Come on, Dave, we are talking bureaucrats here. I can see 12,000 pages of
tax code on food alone. Is caviar a luxury or a necessity? Simple is
better when it comes to taxes.

It doesn't have to be that way. You can have a "sales tax" and still
keep it relatively simple so as to benefit those who need it most.
