tax cuts only have value to people with meaningful incomes. any actions taken to depress wages, turns those people into democrats. the private sector middle class is the backbone of the republican electorate in the US, any "one shot" votes for Bush by pandering to hispanics will be short lived, short enough to get him elected in 2004, but bad long term. remember who is running for president in 2008? do you want to see her get elected?

It's kind of depressing to think about, but, electing a Democrat in 2004 would probably stop Her Heinous from running in 2008. Who knows what the situation will be in 2012?

I know that doesn't make for good voting strategy, but it is probably true.
