CNN加州
州长竞选人辩论
安德里奇议员 我想从你开始
Uh, Assemblyman Andrich, I'd like to start with you.
加州45%的州收入来自于
Forty-five percent of state revenue in California
1%的最高收入人群
comes from the top 1 percent of earners.
你建议为那1%的人减税30%
You're proposing a 30-percent tax cut for that 1 percent,
根据你自己的计算
creating, by your own math,
会造成五千亿美元的预算缺口

加州人是地球上
Californians are some of the most taxed

human beings on the planet.
我还想降低中产阶级家庭的税收

他们是本州经济运作真正的动力
who are the true engine of the state's economy.
霍巴特女士 你想回应他吗
Miss Hobart, would you care to respond?
我不想 他是个变♥态♥
No, I don't. He's a creep,
他的民调数据反映了这一点
and his poll numbers reflect that.
好吧 霍巴特女士 我们继续
All right, uh, Ms. Hobart, uh, but let's stay with you.
本周 你在一个筹款活动上说
This week, you stated at a fundraiser

更加感恩自己的生命
felt more grateful to be alive
并更加谦逊 为自己能生活在加州
and more humble to be in the state of California,
这个地球上最美丽的地方之一
one of the most beautiful places on earth.
那些认为我对待竞选不严肃的人
The people who think my campaign is unserious
都是些不诚实的记者
are dishonest journalists
他们不了解我 也没有试图联♥系♥过我
who do not know me and have made no attempt to contact me,

and right-wing Republican news organizations
他们已经进行了长达数十年的宣传

试图以各种各样的文化界限来分♥裂♥这个国家
to divide this country along any number of cultural lines,
因为他们这样做赚得盆满钵满

而且他们很擅长 他们赢了
And they're good at it! They've won!
我们无法就这个国家的政策达成共识
We can't agree on policy in this country,
因为我们无法就事实达成共识
because we can't agree on facts.
好的 我想换个话题
Okay, I'd like to move on.
所以我认为加州

应该脱离联邦
should secede from the Union.
不好意思 你能详细说明一下吗
I'm sorry. Would you care to elaborate?
加州应该成为独♥立♥的国家

然而 加州仍然设法保持住了
And yet, somehow, California manages to remain
世界领先地位

在经济增长 工业发展
In growth, industry,
创新思潮 文化体系方面
innovation, and culture.
我们拥有人类历史上最棒的
We have the best public-university system
公立大学体系
in the history of humankind.
那或许
So maybe,
或许 我们做了正确的事
just maybe, we are doing something right.
最终 我们也要问问自己
And you have to ask yourself, eventually,
"我们有朝一日能改变他们的观念吗
"Are we ever gonna change their minds?
我们真的能改变他们吗"
Are we ever gonna change them?"
不可能
