Joe Walsh’s New Life As A Taker - HAHAHAHAHA

Oh, Joe, say it ain’t so! Don’t let your fall from grace include becoming the type of person you railed against as a US Congressman. What kind of person with the opportunities he’s been given goes to court to be declared free from any financial responsibility for a child he helped create and put on this earth? What kind of MAN does that? Joe Walsh, that’s who does that.

It’s not his fault he doesn’t have a job. It’s not his responsibility to pay for the support of his child because he doesn’t have a job. Someone else should be responsible. But it’s not enough for Joe Walsh to deny his own child. He wants to sue a newspaper for, get this, reporting the news that he has filed to change the child support obligation. He is threatening to sue the Chicago Sun Times for their reporting.

Not only is he now a “taker” instead of a “maker” but he’s also declared himself to be a victim. He is everything he supposedly didn’t like. It’s amazing how much your perspective changes when it’s your life at stake and not someone else’s. I think most people are rational enough to know that if you didn’t have a job to fall back on you might have some financial struggles. But Joe knew early in November that he didn’t have a job after January, and he did nothing in those three months to even try to plan ahead. Once the paychecks from the government stopped the child support payments stopped as well. And the ridiculous part of that is his youngest son turns 18 in May, and Walsh won’t be financially liable after that point. He couldn’t even plan and provide for four more, at the most, months of child support. He is the poster child for everything that is wrong with the Republican Party right now. Demand accountability from everyone else, but lie and deny if it helps you somehow.

There's always call for someone to sweep up after the elephants. Surely Joe would be qualified to do that!

are those who are too lazy to work.

That's what all the Republicans I know say. So it must be true.

This SHOULD be spread Far and Wide,
and SHOULD also include his photo.



This should be printed out and put up in WalMarts,
Laundromats,
stapled to telephone poles,
and put under windshield wipers
all over Chicago and Illinois,
but especially wherever Joe lives.

One correction needs to be made:
Walsh is now an EX-Congressman,
but still a current Deadbeat Dad and Major Asshole.

He truly cares about no other person on this earth other than himself. I can only hope pay-back will be a scorcher.

First, there needs to be a defined end date, if there isn't child support is required until the court provides the date to end it.
Second, from what I could determine Illinois does not have a statute of limitations on collecting back child support. It use to be 20 years.

I wonder what assets he might have that could be taken?

I hope the newspaper makes life very difficult for him.
