I have a question maybe you can help me [View all]

very proud of my son he just got hired to work for a Democratic congressman,
it is an entry level position, he is only 18 and just started college, today was his first day,one of his duties is to answer the phone from constituents he answer the phone call from an 80 yr old woman

who say's it is the democratic party that started the KKK, Robert Bird being in the KKK (no mention from here though of th southern strategy) and some nonsense about Chappaquiddick but what really got him is when this lady said that Californians should be ashamed to call themselves American, because we (californians)take money from the other states, now of course this older lady has been brainwashed by RW radio,

he is supposed to listen not question them, he said it was hard but he was very polite

now my question doesn't California send more money, to the Fed Gov't than receive in turn
