message. My stepdaughter is a wishy washy lefty, who often spurts out RW talking points that she hears on the TV, like "Arnold is a good businessman".

She doesn't like me to argue with her because she can't win the argument once I start referring to sources and she can't. She finally has to admit that she heard it someplace.

But one day I said something about our taxes should go for our domestic needs, like health care, addressing the homeless problem, etc.. She said then that if our taxes went for things like that she wouldn't resent paying them. So this is the route I have to use with her.

I still can't get her interested in voting though. She thinks the system is rigged and I honestly can't argue with her about this because I think she's right.
