    While it’s true the lion’s share is unpaid taxes, he owes $50k in child support. I’d still call that a deadbeat dad.

      It’s difficult to know without more details. Consider how much non w-2 income is required to owe that much in tax. 50k could be from a couple missed monthly payments

        It would take an income of hundreds of thousands of dollars PER MONTH to have child support that high. And regardless of how quickly they accumulated, that debt was generated in 2003. That’s TWO DECADES of not paying a pretty significant childcare debt. There’s no way to brush that aside as no big deal.

          Ok. Missed that part. Unless he paid it with out notifying the court (but then why not say so now) he’s likely owes more because of fees and whatever they tack on.

          My point was mainly how being a tax cheat is considered a big brain move by a non-insignificant number of voters.

          Being a dead beat dad isn’t that big of a turn off for a subset of those.

          Hell I didn’t even know he was running. This is free campaign press. I can only see it helping his poll numbers.

      Honestly for unpaid child support it depends on the situation.
