Ze Contract Mitt America

Ze Contract's Kore Principles. Ze Contract mitt America is rooted in 3 kore principles:

Accountability - Ze gofernment ist too big undt spends too much, undt Congress undt unelected bureaucrats hafe become so entrenched to be unresponsife to ze public dey are supposed to serfe. Ze GOP kontract r-r-restores accountability to gofernment.

R-r-responsibility - Bigger gofernment undt more federal programs usurp personal r-r-responsibility from families and indifiduals. Ze GOP kontract r-r-restores a proper balance between gofernment undt personal r-r-responsibility.

Opportunity - Ze American Dream ist out uff de r-r-reach uff too many families because uff burdensome gofernment r-r-regulations and harsch tax laws. Ze GOP kontract r-r-restores ze American dream.

Ze Contract
