Those counties are riddled with conniving thieves.

Who could dispute this? :-)

Trump’s un-drained swamp still stinks.

I read not long ago that 4 of the 5 richest,and 7 of the ten richest,counties in the US are suburbs of DC.

One would thing that it would be NYC...Chicago...Philly...or San Francisco.But it's the one major city that produces nothing but paperwork.

And to think that some wonder why DC,Virginia and Maryland go so reliably to Rats.

Based on information that is 8 years old... that probably hasn’t changed much in regards to where the most money is.

President Trump will get to preside over a new census in two years. An accurate, straight forward one that reveals facts that are actually needed to run a country, not for keeping track of political information.

How is it these counties are teeming with 3rd world refugees and Central Americans? How do they afford to live there?

Who said there is no ruling class in United States? Yes, there is, and I have seen it with my own eyes in DC.

Perfect reference! “The Imperial Capital” has got to have The Founding Fathers spinning in their grave since this is so far removed from what they conceived.

#1 is Loudoun County, Va. which does not touch DC.

This is a Chicken/Egg thing and goes back before the founding. Is D.C. there because of the money or is the money there because of D.C.? The Chesapeake Bay region has always been and will always be the richest part of this country, at least measured per capita. Fairfax and Baltimore were Lords with mind blowing land grants before they were Cities and Counties.

That could be corrected with TERM LIMITS, SUBJECTING OFFICEHOLDERS TO ALL LAWS APPLYING TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE (insider trading in particular) and ALL POLITICAL DONATIONS BEING ANONYMOUS.

Who cares about county income

It's the state GDP that counts...In 1st Quarter 2017:

Texas is top at 3.9%....OIL, Gas and FRACKING

West Virginia is second with 3.0%.....COAL, Gas and more FRACKING

Washington DC with a paltry 0.6%.....hot air,
