Noise. I show the highest income counties of which the vast majority are Washington DC redistribution systems for taxpayer money, and you put out "Well, here is the rest of the economic activity."

Irrelevant, and just intended to muddle the clarity I am providing by pointing out who is getting rich from taxpayer dollars.

Washington DC, enabled by the New York financial, publishing, and media empire, is exploiting the nation to enrich the "elites" who generally live in this region.

They are lords. We are peasants.

DiogenesLamp: "They are lords.
We are peasants. "

My map shows plenty of wealthy people live outside NY & DC.
As for "peasant" or "slave", that might refer to Democrats.
Republicans have always been a different kind of people.
