[edit] FairTax
I wanted to comment on your recent post to the FairTax article under predicted effects. You added a well written argument about the FairTax promoting used goods and a movement to a re-usable society. However, I did not see any references or sources to support the statement. I've been studying the FairTax for several years and while hearing this suggestion before, I've never seen any research or economic data to suggest this would occur. I've always thought it to be orginal research and not appropriate for the article. While very utopian, it seems to go against the principals of the Free Market and the forces discussed under the section "Value of used goods". I'm going to add a {{fact}} tag for the moment but it will probably be removed soon if there are no sources added to support the theory. Sorry - I don't mean to bite the newcomers and I thank you for your contributions. Morphh (talk) 02:50, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've moved this entry to the talk page of the article under the section titled "Sections that need sources" under "Predicted effects". We can address it on the talk and then move it into the article Predicted effects of the FairTax if found to be valid. Thanks Morphh (talk) 05:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

- I found this recent video with the Chairman at FairTax.org that gets the question - "I believe the FairTax does encourage recycling, does it not?" - He answers yes. So, I'll have to look into this further. Your paragraph is still on the talk page for sections needing sources. Thanks, Morphh (talk) 21:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
