I still remember living in California and every year checking the turbotax box that said I was not claiming a deduction from the Armenian Genocide Restitution Fund or whatever.

Funny how people are willing to deny benefits to others while claiming different benefits for themselves. Me thinks you'd feel differently if, say, a fund were created to compensate people for consuming PFASs (which you undoubtedly have). Or, maybe not.

Regardless, I think it's important to be consistent: If you deny benefits to others, then don't accept them yourself.

Tax returns are not the most efficient way to correct all of society's historical injustices.
