It’s the whole rebate part that puts me off... why should the poor be exempt from sales tax on “essentials” while the middle class and rich are not.

umm, didja notice the rebate plan is optional and applicable to all households, regardless of income?

Well, again... why even have a rebate? Why not just exempt certain items such as food, clothing, and medical care?
