It's important that we not base our opinions on faulty assumptions. Assuming that tax cuts lead to jobs is not supported by studies, and it is important to recognize this.
As for Wisconsin, that too is more complicated than blaming either the unions or tax cuts. If you busted the union completely, did away with all their benefits, you would not save Wisconsin. Like the federal government, you need a combination of efforts, and the burden should not be placed on the least capable alone.
The real question should be what will the taxes be used for, not whether the lack of them creates jobs. Congress needs to justify the taking of money from people, not whether they are allowed to keep it.
