I know I’m just a dumb country boy, but if I’m an IRS agent, I point out that Edward Kennedy was a sitting Senator from Massachusetts when he died, therefore, the claim he was a Florida resident is impossible.
And showing just how dumb I am, if I’m a judge, I immediately declare the issue settled and rule for the IRS.
Honesty has no place in these matters.
Thanks for playing.
But if I'm an activist judge, I show the world how smart I am and rule for the exact opposite of the plain meaning of the words in the statutes.
We’re talking state income taxes here, not a matter for the IRS to decide.
I hope he voted for Obama in Massachusetts. Where you vote is one of the residence factors. Drivers license would be another. The irony if the Kopechne Killer never got around to changing that to Florida would be so delicious.
