Day Ten and "Deadbeat Dad" still has a job!

Alright here we are, on day number ten since Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh was sued by his wife for $117,000 in child support. Still no responses from the Republicans or the Tea Party or Mr. Walsh. I can only come to the conclusion they do not support the idea that parents have, not just a moral responsibility but a financial responsibility to take care of their children. We are told that parents have to support children and meet their needs. We have laws that are in place, with the intended purpose of making parents meet that responsibility. Maybe it is the view of Republicans and the people on the right to only make average Americans pay. Since Mr. Walsh is white, wealthy and a member of Congress, then I am wondering if that precludes him from the law. I can then, once more, come to another conclusion. If you are a minority, poor or middle class and not a member of Congress then the laws pertain to you. I am glad that the class system is alive and well in America. So once again I will ask, Mr. Walsh when are you going to do the honorable thing and, number one pay to support your children and number two, resign?
