When Ted Kennedy does it, it's a "Gaffe."
When you or I do it, it's a "Felony!"

A guy that advocates increasing taxes but then gets reductions himself! A typical contradictory liberal!

I guess they'll drop their "investigation" into Rick Santorum's "tax gaffe" as well then?

Very convenient Gaffe. You ever notice how these guys are never involved in a Gaffe where they end up overpaying.

A review of tax and real estate records by the Kansas City Star found that Kennedy was one of 22 senators who took the so-called Homestead Exemption in 2003 and 2004. And just who were the other 21, I wonder...

Gee, could all of us just tell the taxman that every $7,700 shortfall in payment is merely some minor 'gaffe'???? hardly....
And just how exactly does one ACCIDENTALLY claim a deduction that is explicitly provided for the home of one's LEGAL RESIDENCE???? Everyone who deals with a 2nd home (not me, unfortunately) has to know there are fundamental tax issues regarding which home is claimed as the primary residence. WHAT A SCAM!

He reportedly stood to save about $7,700 this year... an amount considerably less then his open bar tab at the Metropolitan Grill, his favorite local watering hole.

Whaaa, thazz jush an honesht MISHTAKE (hic!)

Funny how the govt doesn't tend to make any errors in my favor.Someone, if not the Submarine Commander himself, had to make application for homestead exemption.
This isn't a gaffe, it's a fraud.

And just how exactly does one ACCIDENTALLY claim a deduction My guess: his accountant filled it in w/o disclosing it to him. He simply signed the forms w/o complete review. Yes, he is responsible for the error, but it probably was not done with his knowledge or concurrance.

He reportedly stood to save about $7,700 this year on the tax bill for his $4.5 million dollar Washington home

Kennedy's staff tells the Boston Herald that the senator never applied for the tax break and apparently received it in error. He reportedly stood to save about $7,700 this year on the tax bill for his $4.5 million dollar Washington home.
Who here at FR hasn’'t had this problem?
My city is always trying to give me $7,700 or 10,000 or more. It’s a real problem turning away all the money they send me.

Rose Kennedy, a lifelong Massachusetts resident, had her estate settled in Florida after she died.
Check out the Florida inheritance taxes as compared to Massachusetts.
