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.

Most Americans do not understand the US income tax system and cannot add and
subtract so they only look at the size of the refund or tax due.
 
The group with actual tax increases are the high income earners that cannot
deduct their high state and local taxes.

Same here. 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.
