Modest hikes? Ok. Less income out of your consumers. Local economy starts going down.And if you are only concerned with one particular group in a huge party, you're making a big mistake. The establishment Neo-cons are a dying breed and the new libertarian and liberal-leaning Republicans that are taking over the party are very, very different.
Liberal leaning Republicans? Not while the tea party remains. Didn't you get the memo? Negotiations are for traitors.
Libertarians? They have been talking about taking over for over 20 years.
