It would be silly of me, for instance, to not use the student loan interest deduction, which I am allowed to claim.

However, it would be tax evasion to claim something that I wasn't due, or to seek to trick the system, just so I don't have to pay taxes. That's not smart, it's greedy, I agree 100%.
