Older Americans are particularly vulnerable to such scams, a disturbing reality that was made clear to me shortly before my father passed away. My parents, both in their 80s, were being inundated by scam phone calls and mailings, including the infamous grandparent scam, literally on a daily basis. Because they, like many older Americans, grew...

It’s not just being part of half the nation that pays taxes while the other half doesn’t that bothers me.
