For a change, some gambling chit-chat.

How the hell did "Gambling Chit Chat" turn into "Tax Avoidance" ??
There's always ONE asshole.......
Good God !

You shouldn't be surprised.

Um, after abeadle started this pure and holy gambling only thread by complaining about President Obama in the very first sentence (and Harry Reid in the second):

corgimom complained about taxes on gambling winnings;

CowboyKell joked about cheating;

chilcoot pointed out that CowboyKell claims Tennessee for tax purposes only, but hasn't visited there for three years;

CowboyKell said that he is following the advice of his accountant, and if that advice was good enough for Willie Nelson, it's good enough for him.

I think that about covers it.

For the record, DonDiego is absolutely unaware of anyone in any line anywhere with the intention of climbing up his colon for a look-see.
And DonDiego is unlikely to issue an invitation for anyone ever to do so, . . . except in the case of a legitimate medical investigation.

Well you did leave out the parts where you potentially libeled Cowboy Kell by accusing him of Voter and Tax Fraud even though he has said several times that he 'obeys all laws'.

To determine whether a person is a resident of Tennessee, the registrar must consider the following factors:

The residence of a person is the place where the person’s habitation is fixed and is where, during periods of absence, the person definitely intends to return.
A person can have only one residence.
A change of residence is made not only by relocation, but also by intent to remain in the new location permanently, and by demonstrating actions consistent with that intention.
The following factors may be considered:

The person’s possession, acquisition or surrender of inhabitable property;
Location of the person’s occupation;
Place of licensing or registration of the person’s personal property;
Place of payment of taxes which are governed by residence;
Purpose for a person’s presence in a particular place; and
Place of the person’s licensing for activities such as driving.

The place where a married person’s spouse and family live is presumed to be that person’s residence, unless that person takes up or continues abode with the intention of remaining in a place other than where the spouse and family reside.
No person gains or loses residency solely by presence in or absence from the state while employed in the service of the United States or this state, or while a student at an institution of higher learning, or while kept in an institution at public expense.


I don't anything about having to actually visit the homestead; only that you intend to return. But I'm not a lawyer.

Drink all day and rock all night,
The law come to get you if you don't walk right

Tennessee? Unless CowboyKell is just engaging in creative writing, he lives in California. The laws of California apply.

Think about it for half a second, if it's not too much strain. Lots of wealthy Californias pay California income tax. Do you really think setting up a fictional residency by putting a small down payment on a home, registering to vote, etc., is allowed?

Why do you assume his residence in Tennessee is fictional? Cowboy is a gentleman of leisure.

gentleman of leisure

A man who derives a living from their own financial assets or has other sources of irregular income leaving them financially secure without any typical employment, duties, or financial responsibilities. Such a man may be self-made, or they may be the result of inheritance, a trust fund baby, or an "idiot son". A true gentleman of leisure enjoys a high quality of life involving mostly recreation and leisure activity, and often prides himself as a playboy, adventurer, or a gentleman gambler. While most are wealthy enough to remain without occupation they will often portray occupation with some line of work such as an investor, speculator, business owner, professional gambler, or even being involved in some sort of illegal or illicit trade.

I wish I was a gentleman of leisure. I'd live in Tennessee but be forced to attend to business interests in southern California so much so that I'd rarely get back home.

Um, because he hasn't set foot there for three years.

Tennessee law doesn't require you setting your foot there. If you take half a second, I posted the rules above. But I'm not a lawyer, maybe you can find something, a link or reference that says you have to set foot in Tennessee every 3 years for it to count as your home state.
