And they are willing to use their newfound strength at the polls to make this happen. They support reform now, rather than to leave it alone and have Congress put in more money if needed in the future. It's very hard for low-income workers, particularly those who work for small businesses or in the service industry, to set aside money for retirement. If an employer does not provide assistance to open retirement accounts, workers will have to rely solely on Social Security. Therefore, the idea of using a portion of their taxes to open a personal retirement account is very attractive to them.
Hispanic parents see education as the way to open the doors of opportunity for their children.
That's why having the option to pick the best school for their children is a very attractive proposition for them. Under the new Florida law signed by Governor Jeb Bush, the parents of children in those schools can send their kids to a better public school or to a religious or private school at state expense. Without a doubt, the idea of keeping more of what they earn, will be a key issue in the Hispanic community this Fall. If candidates present a detailed plan to Hispanics showing how individuals and families in their community will benefit, they have the opportunity to be very successful. These numbers spell trouble for the Vice President.
