When an individual's total tax bill, federal, state, and local is 40% or more of their income, it's time to say enough and start taking back. Or maybe I should just quit my job and let the government give me stuff.

I guarantee that your effective tax rate is not 40%. In fact, only the top 1% even get anywhere close to 40%. And the situation in Wisconsin wasn't created by a linear tax cut, but a very targeted one, which means that people are still paying the same. Which makes your point both false and irrelevant.
