BUT most of the goppers have signed the devil's contract "never raise taxes" especially for the rich, and eff everyone else. Apparently inorder to join the boys and girls club of the gop party you must sign contracts, i.e. Mitten's signing a contract with NOM.

What about the contract with the American public?
