Americans deserve an economy that allows each person to succeed through hard work and creativity and to lead a life of meaning and dignity. We believe the free-market system is the best means of generating good jobs, a strong and sustainable economy, innovation, a healthy environment and economic opportunity for all.

美国人值得拥有这样的经济:每个人都能通过辛勤工作和创造获得成功，过上有意义和有尊严的生活。我们相信，自由市场体系是为所有人创造良好就业、强大和可持续的经济、创新、健康的环境和经济机会的最佳手段。

Businesses play a vital role in the economy by creating jobs, fostering innovation and providing essential goods and services. Businesses make and sell consumer products; manufacture equipment and vehicles; support the national defense; grow and produce food; provide health care; generate and deliver energy; and offer financial, communications and other services that underpin economic growth.

企业通过创造就业、促进创新和提供基本商品和服务，在经济中发挥着至关重要的作用。企业制造和销售消费品;制造设备和车辆;支持国防建设;种植和生产食物;提供卫生健康保障;生产和输送能源;并提供支撑经济增长的金融、通讯等服务。
