Talk:FairTax


Various tags were recently added to the article and I'd like to discuss placement / removal. It is usually better to address such issues on the talk page before we jump to the last resort of tagging in article space, particularly for one that's been heavily debated, reviewed and stable for years. I haven't followed this topic for quite some time, so maybe there is new information or studies that I'm unaware of that should be reflected in the article. If so, let's discuss it. Currently though, I don't see a new consensus on these issues or discussion with examples of each problem area. If nothing significant is discussed, we should consider it a well intentioned drive-by and remove it. We can continue to address issues on the talk. A decent review should also be done when sources are removed for attributed material. One recent source removed wasn't an op-ed as described in the summary - it was a debate hosted by the think tank that included economists that studied the plan. It was neither pro nor con and sourced both proponent and opponent viewpoints. I don't think the content or source material was reviewed - the removal appeared to be solely on the basis of being a free market source. Morphh (talk) 20:10, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

It may be time to rewrite parts of this article in, well, past tense. Public interest in and support for the plan appears to be dropping off, perhaps with the decline of the Tea Party movement.Brianyoumans (talk) 19:18, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

This article has an {{Unbalanced}} tag, and also much uncited text. Does it really meet the Featured Article criteria? -- Politicsfan4 (talk) 17:15, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
