Actually I live in one of those rich counties referenced, I always post about it here. Its another housing boom here.
Dems always cite that its the red states like Alabama that pay the least NET taxes per NET government benefits they get , and its the high income blue states like NY, Maryland and CA that pay the most per net handout.
But I haven't seen what goes into those numbers.
Alabama has a large black population ... that eats up a lot of taxes.
People in Hollywood pay high taxes too - it’s a consequesnce of making a lot of money. I guess the parasites in DC are proud of taking our money while bankrupting the country. Those folks in Alabama - black and white would be happy to pay $80,000 a year in taxes if they could keep $200,000.
The DC folks fear a backlash - as all crooks do - and that’s why they’re afraid of the Tea Party. It’s not that middle class people have figured them out yet - but that they fear it’ll happen... And if History is a guide - eventually ‘the people’ will get tired of the crooks. And yeah, it can happen here...
