Loudoun County, just next to the counties that border DC, is the richest county in the US. Fairfax, VA and Montgomery, MD also rank very high. Prince Georges, MD is the richest black majority county in the US. All that wealth is from the government and its contractors. Not much is actually manufactured around here.
It’s called “internal colonialism”, where the ruling class concentrates the wealth of the hinterlands to the seat of government.

Sounds like what’s happening.
Concentrate all the power in DC and all the wealth will follow.
Trump should make a YUGE deal out of this. Most Americans have no idea of that incredible wealth concentration around the DC area. It speaks volumes about how the ruling class and its drones compare with the rest of the nation.
It's a natural for Trump. Cruz and Rubio can't do it. They're in it. I'm not faulting them, it's just where they are.
