The assumption that the Wisconsin state employee's effective salary reduction of 8% is to blame for the economy of Wisconsin is a bit of a stretch, no ?
You went to a lot of trouble to disprove an assertion I don't think anybody made - certainly not one I made. All I was implying is that the amount of money Walker took from teachers is equal to the amount that he gave to businesses as tax breaks they didn't have before. That isn't saying that the basically transfer of money from teachers to business was to blame for Wisconsin's economy - but it sure as heck didn't seem to do much to make for more jobs.
