question everything

I always cringe when I see the tax credit for a stillborn child (yes, tax filing time) [View all]

Never been in this situation and cannot imagine the loss. But why give a special credit there?

And if one wants to be cynic, why not give credit for parents whose child was killed in a crossfire between gangs? Have been too many.
