Forbes has ranked the 25 richest counties based on median household incomes for 2008, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Browse through the slide show and you will notice that 12 of the 25 are Virginia and Maryland counties surrounding Washington DC. Those two states have a combined population of around 13 million people in a country of over 300 million.
This illustrates just how much money is now inefficiently spent by industries, interest groups and assorted parasites to either protect themselves, gain advantages or just get taxpayer cash.
The federal government produces nothing and everything of value it has is artificially created through the force of law. Money spent for tribute to an overbearing government is money that wont be used to create jobs and wealth in the private sector. Instead it is used to enhance the wealth and power of the governing elite at the expense of the taxpayer. In short, we are funding the destruction of our liberties and our economic well being.
