Why Not Do It Sooner And End The 'thon?
I guess that means in our version of Panem, I live in the Capitol District.
Jackals feeding on the carrion corpse of this country. I hope they get food poisoning.

It is a company like any other, with individuals acting out in their own interests.
The difference being they have guns and can kill or imprison anyone in their way.

Time to start culling that herd.
Actually, way past time.
One reason is he pays more to rent a place to park his Beamer per month than I ever paid per month on our downtown 2 story 7k Plus sq. ft. commercial building. His apartment rent is slightly less then want he pays for parking.
200K sounds like a lot of money and around here it is. In NYC or Near DC I doubt it.
Leftist/Progressive government is, by default, corrupt and crony government.
When everything is controlled by politics, then only those with political connections get rich
I skipped right to a comment without looking at the story to lodge my guess that Maryland has a strong population of government parasites and scammers.
Ain’t Marxism wonderful?

Assets = what? A paid off home and less than adequate retirement savings can easily put one in the million dollar range. I’m early 50’s and have assets around a million but certainly don’t live a lavish lifestyle and at least 10 more years to even think about realistically retiring. Vehicles all have over 100,000 miles with newest being 8 years old and the oldest with over 250K 16 years-old. I would bet that the majority of the 8% are 55 or older.
Didn’t read your article, but I have always assumed it is the result of having access to the corridors of power in Washington D.C.
And the wealthier they are and the higher they go in the gubmit bureaucracy, the bluer they vote. Having grown up in the DC burbs in the 50s surrounded by Republicans and Christians, when everyone referred to the Capital as “a sleepy Southern town” and you could just drive in and find parking anywhere, the difference in civic life is startling, and saddening.
They are feasting off our taxes and we are paying these vultures.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
When I toured DC in 2010, it looked so prosperous, nothing like the midwest where I live. All the boys have 1000 dollar suits, and the girls 500 dollar purses, shoes, and dresses.
The taxpayers (and the money creators) keep the beltway folks nicely nourished.
