Steve Hilton on Principles & Values

 

 


The most amazing state in the most amazing country on Earth

HILTON: This is the most amazing state in the most amazing country on Earth. And it's because we've got this rebel spirit that we do things differently. People build, we can grow anything, build anything, make anything, invent anything. That spirit is being crushed by this bloated nanny-state bureaucratic government that Xavier has been a part of for 36 years and would continue. It's time to try something different, not least to reduce the cost of living. And so, if we have his policies for another four years, the average, the typical California household will pay $11,047 more dollars. If I'm elected governor, the starting point will be to reduce that cost of living.

BECERRA: Let's not forget that what we call the American Dream in California was probably put to life more than in any other place in the country. California has thrived. [My parents] lived the California dream. We need to make sure we don't forget that, and we fight to keep the California dream.

I'm a proud American and an incredibly proud Californian too

I love California so much. I moved to the Bay Area over a decade ago. I'm a proud American, and an incredibly proud Californian too. But I've never forgotten where I came from. My parents were immigrants--they fled communism in Hungary to start a new life in England. In a free country. I appreciate exactly what that means.
