WASHINGTON - The D.C. area makes plenty of Top 10 lists, and this one shows its residents make the big bucks. According to a new report from Newsweek, seven of the nation's 10 richest counties are in this region.

Seven counties of rent-seeking and wealth-transfer...

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

9. Calvert County, Md.

10. Charles County, Md.

Speaking of these two counties. They are mostly parts of Steny Hoyers district and Charles Lollar appears to be still campainging for the next election. He's one Marine that can do!

This is because we are the ‘Soviet Socialist Government Workers State’.
If we starve DC the politics in this state will change. Until then, it wont change much.

Morris & Somerset Counties in New Jersey are Republican counties.

Yeah, one problem with this article. IT IS WRONG. Prince William County, Virginia has a median household income of $89,785, which is higher than both #10 and #9, Charles and Calvert counties, Maryland. That would place it as #9, just behind Somerset County, NJ. It would be nice if the MSM did some fact checking next time. It isn’t that hard.

I lived in Loudoun County (Leesburg) for four years (2—3-2007). Nice place but it isn’t New Hampshire.

Is that really true about Prince William county? It definitely has a lot of blue-collar types, illegal aliens, and their ilk. No criticism meant of the county, but that’s the demographic picture as I’ve seen it and understood it.
