Martin Bashir just painted Joe Walsh as the shyster he is in real time on Tuesday's show. After setting up the conversation about tax rates, and getting Walsh to say outright that he doesn't want debt placed on his children, which leads to the key question. Bashir asks him whether or not he has a problem shorting his child support and placing that burden on his children now.
The only defense Walsh mounts is to say he's innocent until proven guilty, and gets Bashir to agree to apologize if the court outcome shows he doesn't owe all that. Of course, these are pretty easy charges to prove. There hasn't been a dispute that he owed support that wasn't paid. Walsh is simply claiming that he doesn't owe as much as they claim.
Of course, this is the Republican party line, this idea that because the money is income from investments where the corporations have already paid taxes, dividends should not be taxable to individuals receiving them. Except we all know that the corporations, particularly those paying dividends, are paying very little, if any corporate tax. So it really hasn't been taxed at all.
Bashir did a terrific job in what follows of tying Walsh's tax attitudes into the morality of his child support attitudes. Child support is a pretty quantifiable thing. You take the earnings of each spouse, figure out the time the children spend with each spouse, and apply the formula to arrive at the support amount. In California, that's not negotiable. It is what it is, and isn't negotiated away in settlements or any other way. Today, Walsh seemed to claim he doesn't owe what's been alleged. But last year, he didn't deny he owed support payments. He simply claimed he didn't have the money to pay them, despite his rather hefty Congressional salary.
Something doesn't add up, as CREW notes while awarding him the title of Most Corrupt. But despite Rep. Walsh's vehement denials, the question was valid whether it's one hundred dollars owed or one hundred thousand dollars owed. If Rep. Walsh is such a believer in not placing debt on his children, he should pay his child support and quit posturing about it on television.

I paid child support for many years. I no longer pay my ex child support as my son is over 20 years old. I now pay the child support directly to my son so he can stay in college.

I never begrudged my son for the money I paid. Since I was not there for him then I want to be there for him now.
People that refuse to pay their child support really piss me off. Anyone that claims they want to cut taxes and cut government services best pay their child support so we, the tax payers, do not have to support the children.

As far as Colorado law, I am sure you need to pay support and health insurance... I have a friend that pays no support because he reached an agreement with his ex, that he will cover the health and dental insurance, and not have a monthly child support on top... Had he not reached this agreement he would have to pay both and both until 22 and perhaps more if the child goes to college... He is fortunate to have that agreement, he would be screwed if he did not....
But he's an average Joe, LOL, excuse the pun, but really, this Cat should be paying his support... What ever happened to our society that Expected better than this, from an elected official???

as a retired federal worker, I had friends in the federal government who paid child support and cover their children on their health plan. Maryland recently changed their child support laws: 1. the child support stops at eighteen. 2. if the child drops out of high school, child support is terminated, college is paid at the non-custodial parent discretion.

"If Rep. Walsh is such a believer in not placing debt on his children, he should pay his child support"Always funny to me how desperate the republithugs are to "protect the life of the unborn" yet after they're born they couldn't care less. Determined not to pay 1 cent!
