The graphic represents people who live in Manhattan who also collect farm subsidies. The big red dots are folks who collect more than $250,000 per year.
I wonder what the graphic for Maryland would look like?

Maryland knocked New Jersey out of the top spot this year, while Mississippi and West Virginia were the poorest states in the Union.

West Byrdland Virginny?.........How on earth can that be?......................
I knew it was Maryland. It’s all the government money.
There is big business also. Like the Discovery/Travel Channels.
Does this take into account cost-of-living?
$300K in Texas or Alabama can get you a palatial estate ... in Manhattan it can get you an apartment about the only slightly smaller than my first apartment.

Maryland is filled with vast numbers of lazy, incompetent government workers racking in mega-bucks.
YOUR stolen mega-bucks. (mostly federal “workers”)
Surprised to see Hawaii and Alaska in the top ten.
consider the source. cnn is involved with this survey
What Hollywood and many outsiders think of Mississippi, I think of the Delta. You go there and it's like going back 40 years. The casinos in Tunica and the 4-laning projects have improved it (formerly, it was like going back 70 years), the Delta has to be home to some of the poorest, most ig'nant people I've ever come across.
Damn dakine. You move into Md. and all of a sudden we’re #1.
You must make a lot.
“Keep voting Dem for more $100k+ government/education jobs that we’re entitled to.”
Today the kook Governor is about to raise the minimum wage for state contractors from $8.5 to $11.5 an hour. Just like that. Wish I could get a 30% raise on a whim with no fanfare.
hahaha...That made me laugh!....must be all those exactas!
Misssissippi is also the most generous:

There’s a huge amount of Biotech and Defense contracting and consulting in MD. It’s not all government workers.

Exacta? What’s that?
Went to Saratoga last weekend, was 0-11.
“Went to Saratoga last weekend, was 0-11”
But it was SARATOGA! who cares about the ‘0-11’....
True. Guess I should look at the bright side.
Speaking of richest places, I’d bet the clubhouse on saturday was the richest place in America.
Of course, they wouldn’t let me near the place.
“West Byrdland Virginny?.........How on earth can that be?.”
Money doesn’t solve poverty regardless of what the bleeding heart liberals say.
