Trump 'tax cut' bill

trader4@optonline.net: Mar 09 04:17AM -0800 > https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/07/its-time-pay-taxes-boy-are-people-steamed-about-trump-tax-cut-bill/?utm_term=.b4a6dee8eaf2   Most that are steamed don't understand the difference between a tax cut and getting a smaller refund or owing money because less was withheld from your pay because you didn't correctly adjust withholding. Most of them are paying less taxes and also getting smaller refunds. And of course the media aren't going to explain that, because they hate Trump.

If it's important, they can leave a message. And I have ShouldIAnswer on my cell phone. It has a database of known telemarketers, scammers, etc, and will identify and block those. You can also report new numbers to be added to the database, good or bad ones, eg if it shows your local doc as unknown, you can mark it as valid and what it is.
