Inductive effect!

From the website (Carey5th):

What are Inductive Effects?

An inductive effect is an electronic effect due to the polarisation of ? bonds within a molecule or ion.

In a carbocation, the positive C attracts the electrons in the ? bonds towards itself and away from the atom at the other end of the s bond.

Electrons in C-C bonds are more readily polarised than those in a C-H bond.

Therefore, alkyl groups are better at stabilising C+ than H atoms.

Why it mentioned that "electrons in C-C bonds are more readily polarised than those in a C-H bond"?

I have a question !The alkyl group is a dominated group, ok !? why ???  >:(
Chemistry is a practical science, the theories can not make practices, they only use to explain the practices !
