MONEYLAND: “The new top three [richest U.S. counties] are now Loudon County, Virginia; Fairfax County, Virginia; and Howard County, Maryland. All three are suburbs or exurbs of Washington, D.C. In 2000, 14 of the 100 richest counties were in the Washington, D.C., area. In 2007, it was nine of the richest 20.” [Reason]
…so now we no the first places to loot during the Hobo Wars!!!
This is why I say, never post photos like the one of Bobby Vans. There is no steak to see here, just hobo beans like in the “real merka”
Too bad you have to try to make a living off of blogging!
Hooray for “War on Terror” money!
…sort’ve like saying, “I’m the least mutated child at Chernobyl!”
Probably the wealth was produced by all those Obama election and inaugaration trinkets that are selling like hot cakes.
Well, yeah, generally you find apples under an apple tree. Unless they’re plums. Or pears.
Hooray for Socialism!
In other news, Lower Manhattan is now populated entirely by hobos.
Kentucky and Mississippi, shut out again. What I want to know is when does Reason comes out with its Wealthiest and Least Defended Counties list? Papa’s gotta make rent and Barack hasn’t fixed everything yet. My large burlap sack with a dollar sign on it is empty.

It’s all the actors returning from France to take up their new jobs as the collective head of HHS! No vaccination, thetan massages for all, and maybe a little lift near the brows for the hobos who need to find work “below the line”.
But Ken, where does your section of the Mojave rank? maybe Jim and Sara are living it up, but they don’t have to contend with sidewinders. and gila monsters.
Ha, Ha, we have all your monies, Hobo America.
Yes, but where do they keep their second (third, fourth, etc.) homes. The country house is where all the good shit gets stashed.
YOU BEST NOT EVEN TRY TO MATCH MARIN COUNTY FOR SNOOTY WEALTH AND OUTRAGEOUS SNOBBERY. WE WILL DEFEAT YOU.
And PG county is where you’re most likely to be murdered. Or is that DC proper? At the very least, it’s where you’re mostly likely to lose power for no fucking reason.
What are the top three counties for most likely to be shot by a policeman?
yeah, but can they carry their stomachs around in a wheel barrel? i think not! also.
I call bullshit.
1. There are no longer any wealthy people in Michigan, especially southeast. Period.
2. DC area is nothing but lobbyists and contractors, by which I mean, whores and mercinaries. This symbiotic duo always gets paid in government dollars, which are worthless: ergo, UNFAIR!
3. Just because.
Work in Congress, then whore as a lobbyist.
Work in Administration, then whore as a lobbyist.
Work in Military, then whore as lobbyist or defense contractor.
Work in blogospher, then whore as whore.
Montgomery County’s going to be pissed.
Loudon and Fairfax Counties are not “real” Virginia, also. (Also overload danger light flashing.)
saggyboobedhag: PG.Pg and Pg- you and your dog
ella: yes, we are- so we will be raiding up in Howard- watch out, stinkin fancy Columbia Mall.
While this may be true, if you are born in DC, which is not a proper state (like Hawaii was when Obambi was born), you are not natural born and therefore forever not allowed to run for the president of the USA. You can have your money, but you will NEVER have the POWER
Loudoun - correct spelling and it was “real” Virginia until it went for Obama. Now it joins communist Nova(thanks, McCain’s brother- whatever your name is)
The area is full of “well-paid federal employees”. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, thanks for the laugh. Clearly they don’t know what our actual salaries are as government employees. Bartenders make more than I do.
ColHeightsChic: Goes without saying then that you are not a Bush crony.
I think it is the side effect of all those whore diamonds we’ve been awarding. I mean there’s no place on earth with more whores than the DC subs.
Man, them’s some boring goddamn counties.
I don’t get it. I’m in the neighborhood, too — Baltimore City. With all these rich counties around here, and Merrlin’ being the wealthiest state in the nation, why come us good folks in Charm City weren’t on the list?
Hello?
shortsshortsshorts: Hot tub-Americans, unite!
They have a keen sense of community, it should be noted. Several times a year during the winter months, they gather and warm themselves in convivial harmony around large bonfires comprised of burning hobos.
Uncommon Nonsense: Yeah, why the fuck am I here in PG Co. drinking Everclear/ Kool-Aid cocktails when my neighboring counties are still rich enough to rig elections and buy STD-free hookers? (PG Co. being the satellite or sister city of Baltimore, of course.)
Mr Blifil: We enjoy a good hobo bonfire here in Hunterdon County, NJ (#4 in household income), although we would prefer if they’re not black or Jewish.
finallyhappy: And we all know the correlation between wealth and voting communist…therefore, logic dictates that the wealthiest counties=communist country! Airtight reasoning…
It is Terry McAuliffe, who kowtows to the newly-energized Loudoun County Democratic Committee, straight outta the gate.
At least the guy knows who has the capacity to butter his bread, woe be to Southside VA.
ella: I know! I was raised in Montgomery County, how am I going to pick up girls in bars now? “My dad lives in the SEVENTH highest income county by median household income, baby” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
When you factor in the government workers’ illegal mexican servants, the average starts to move closer to “real America”.
Robobot: No hooker is truly STD-free, but in the wealthier counties the hookers have medical degrees and can prescribe Amoxycillin on site for a mere $50 co-pay.
ColHeightsChic: “Well-paid federal employees” = Secty of Navy, Secty of Defense, Head of the IRS, FBI Director, CIA director, their direct reports, etc. Not you schmucks who work in the mail room.
Like I needed to be told this… rent’s due in a week or so and I’m well aware. Fortunately in Loudoun County I can still pay with grampy’s stash of Confederate dollars.
Anybody care to speculate on my Montgomery county dropped off the list?
finallyhappy: Columbia Mall? fuggedaboudit… Bawlmer city folks get all the five finger discounts and they’ll break into your car too….
Uncommon Nonsense: It’s ‘cuz the Charm City landlords, dealers, bailbondsmen, lawyers, shylocks, and korean liquor store owners all live out in the counties….
Jim Newell: ‘zactly. Yay for defense contractors. More money for better weapons–hooray. Then we have Alexandria and Arlington, which have some of the richest people anywhere living within a stone’s throw of the people who clean their toilets (and then people like me, in between geographically and financially). Bizarre.
MARCdMan: Wheaton, Silver Spring, etc got slammed with foreclosures and lots of folks lost jobs (related to construction), so that probably skewed the stats downward.
Doglessliberal: Hey, Is that what is up with the “Courtyards of Woodside” on Georgia Avenue- instead of “27 Lovely townhomes” that were supposed to sell for over $900,000, there are 4 houses and a lot of dirt.
How the hell did bumfuck Howard County take over Montgomery County’s spot? I bet its that slice of Tacoma Park which MoCo annexed from PG County a few years back that is bringing down the average.
I just bought a (foreclosed) house in Howard County!
Me, FTW!
