Las Vegas Review-Journal

Why can’t they stop these robocalls?

-

One recent day I received four robocalls from “the IRS” saying the agency had been trying to contact me and this was the “final time.” I called 311 to report it so they could trace where the calls came from. They passed me on to the FBI, which then wanted me to call another number.

I hung up because they don’t seem to care to find these scam artists. Why is it so hard to trace these calls and at least disable the number?

I think the phone companies are responsibl­e because this way they can still handle some calls. It’s no wonder so many people are giving up their land lines.

Who is going to provide the investigat­or/ social worker staff needed for such an enterprise? Who is going to pass the laws needed that will eliminate the constituti­onal rights of all those parents?

Mr. Farmer says he is worried about the malnutriti­on of students. Isn’t that what the school lunch program is all about? Is that really what he is worried about? Or is he really just worried that some of those parents smoke or own an iPhone?

I think this is just the old “welfare queen” fallacy dressed up in “concern-forchildre­n” clothes. the UFC bouts, with some comparing it to the fixed wrestling era.

Something stinks. Do something about it.
