Tax I just noticed that there is a short piece on taxation in the article with references at Consumers cooperative Role of government There is also a lengthy article on the United States taxation position in the Talk page currently above at Talk Consumers cooperative Role of government REI On a global scale REI is quite small and relatively unknown However as the best known consumers coop brand in the US it is probably worth a mention Bkobres I think your comment about removing content is hyperbole as nothing is ever deleted from Wikipedia However I quite understand your giving up as collaboratively editing an article can be quite stressful especially if you have some pride in your workmanship Thanks to the GFDL when you leave Wikipedia you can always fork an article that you like putting a copy on a read only website so no one can vandalize it I have been tempted to do that now and again or Hrothulf Talk
