The staggering cost of Democrat governance has been laid bare in California, where failed liberal policies are costing the average family a jaw-dropping $35,000 per year compared to the national average, according to gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton.
Speaking on Monday's "Alex Marlow Show," Hilton broke down the brutal mathematics of California's Democrat-induced economic disaster. "We took the average costs for all the key items of spending and we just compared the national average with the California average," Hilton explained, revealing how decades of progressive policies have turned the Golden State into a financial hellscape for working families.
The Democrat Tax on Everything
Think about that number for a moment, Patriots. Thirty-five thousand dollars. That's more than many Americans make in an entire year, and California Democrats are essentially stealing it right out of hardworking families' pockets through their disastrous governance.
While President Trump works tirelessly to restore American prosperity and cut costs for families nationwide, California's Democrat machine continues to pile on regulations, taxes, and failed social programs that crush the middle class under an unbearable financial burden.
"We took the average costs for all the key items of spending and we just compared the national average with the California average," Hilton stated, exposing the true cost of liberal governance.
This isn't just about higher gas prices or expensive housing – though California leads the nation in both. This is about a systematic assault on prosperity orchestrated by Democrat politicians who have turned the state into their personal piggy bank while families struggle to afford basic necessities.
A Blueprint for Destruction
California has become the poster child for everything wrong with Democrat governance. Sky-high taxes, crushing regulations, and billions wasted on failed programs like the never-ending high-speed rail boondoggle have created a two-tier system where the wealthy elite thrive while working families flee the state in record numbers.
The question every American should be asking: How long will we allow Democrat policies to destroy our prosperity? California's $35,000 Democrat tax is a warning to the rest of America about what happens when liberals get total control.
