First, I'd ask people on this list to please stop discussing tax policy here. It's not the place for it.

My impression was that we had agreed that a statement should explain and support no more than two simple methods, and mention as good a broad range - as many as could get broad acceptance. For the simple methods, it seemed that people were leaning towards (Condorcet//Approval or Minimax/WV) plus (Approval or SODA). For the "generally agreed as improvements", I think we could get consensus that the aforementioned ones plus MJ, Range, and a catch-all "condorcet methods" (since in practice they are unlikely to differ), would all be improvements over plurality. So, I guess the question is: is there anyone who would support Approval but not SODA? Respond in text. Also, I made a poll on betterpolls - go vote. http://betterpolls.com/v/1425
