No, but if it keeps businesses from leaving, then more jobs will be saved.

I'm no doomsday sayer. I'm just saying it's gonna be a hell of a job to pull it off. And the issue of bussinesses not coming into the state right after taxes get lowered is real. Sure it might prevent some from leaving.. but that's not enough i think.
