Tax cuts lower tax payments. Short term interest rates are controlled by the Federal Reserve. The Fed raises rates if the economy gets too active, to try to slow business down, and curb inflation.
Long term interest rates are market driven. There is no one managing the long term rates. The economic conditions at the time affect long term rates.
Tax cuts put more money into the economy and stir economic activity. The Fed then decides, independently, of the Administration if the economy is stirred too much.

Tax cuts increase economic growth. They also have proven to increase Government Tax income.
Interest rates raise as a way to cool down the economy.

Tax cuts puts more money into workers' pockets, which stimulates the economy, and puts people back to work.
When people start doing "too good" the Feds worry about inflation. So raising the interest rates cuts the economy back.

well cutting taxes gives the assumtion that people are going to spend that money therefore increasing the strength of the economy. With a stronger economy they can raise interest rates and people will still finance because they have more money to spend.

when you cut taxes the economy grows when the economy grows unemployment goes down. when unemployment falls below 5 percent we are at what is considered full employment. when we reach that inflation starts to rise. the fed at that point raises interest rates to slow inflation. when interest rates rise growth slows down. when growth slows down the government raises taxes to cover spending. when they raise taxes the economy slows and goes into recession causing the fed to lower interest rates.

Bill Clinton's book, "My Life" has a good explanation of how reducing the deficit lead to falling interest rates.
Taxes were higer but the savings on mortgage interest for example really made up for it.
