St Louis Oracle that is quite a long leap in assumptions you are making!

Isn’t a “stupid Republican” a Democrat?

And isn’t a “homophobe” a demented comment by one afraid of procreation?

St. Louis Oracle - based on your comments, I am beginning to wonder if you retired from law or were asked by the bar association to stop practicing law. It’s progressives/liberals like you that drive me crazy. Instead of filing a lawsuit, maybe Walton and her husband should just pay their taxes and stop cheating the system. As a black male, I think civil rights lawsuits should only be filed when real civil rights are violated. No one likes to pay taxes, but it is part of our civic responsibility to do so.

Why should the fact that someone’ spouse owes taxes, disqualify a person from running for office? Why should a person be punished for something that the spouse is fully responsible for. This is just another ploy to depress the African-American Community. This IS a Civil Rights issues, definitely. I, too, expect a lawsuit.

White people make millions of dollars and no one ever complains. Some people cannot stand to see an “Intelligent Black Man” or woman doing well and earning decent a living, by working everyday. Maybe if some of his “haters” got a law degree they could make a decent living, as well. GO ATTORNEY WALTON, GO GET EM!!!

Joyce - If you’d read before you post, you’d know that the lawsuit was filed “against Walton, husband Elbert Walton and others for unpaid taxes.” So apparently, it isn’t just her husband.

Nobody has a problem with an “intelligent black man” earning a decent living. Indeed, the Roberts brothers have earned far more, working their way up to amongst the most wealthy people in St. Louis. And they get nothing but applause for a job well done. Walton, on the other hand, is a leech and an instigator.

Sorry, Joyce, but just because he’s black doesn’t make it a civil rights issue. If he and his wife paid their taxes like the rest of us do, she’d still be on the ballot - and you’d be looking for something else to complain about.

Nick Kasoff - Why is the name Elbert Walton in bold print, If the relevent party is Juanita?
Juanita may or may NOT owe taxes - however, the focus, thus far, has been the fact that HER HUSBAND may or may not owe taxes. The majority of the comments are about Mr. Walton and not the pertinent issue at hand. Was the disqualfication “legal” or not IS this a violation of one’s civil rights?

And, you need to read….because there is nothing in my comment that associates Juanita’s being black with my feeling that the disqualification is a violation of her civil rights. That establishes your mind set. Read, again, please. GO ELBERT & JUANITA GO!!!

That trash needs to pay their taxes like the rest of the American population. These type of people always feel they should be exempt from paying anything….everything should be free to them…never changes….we owe them …they owe us nothing.

The original post just refers to “taxes” without specifying what kind of taxes. Joint liability of both husband and wife can arise from a joint income tax return (federal or state), real or personal property tax levied on jointly owned real estate or vehicles, or business or payroll taxes from a business in which both are partners.

Note that the observation “Her removal appears linked to a lawsuit that the feds have filed against Walton, husband Elbert Walton and others for unpaid taxes” was Jo’s take, not part of any official explanation. The key word is “appears.”

I’ve now revised my post with updates and more detail.

Sorry for the delay. I was busy this afternoon getting all the particulars, with the help of colleague Lee Logan, for a news story tomorrow. I also was writing a separate story on Bush’s visit.

GOD BLESS THE WALTON FAMILY!!
