Another part of the answer is that the Washington area is filled with consultants and contractors, and this shadow government workforce also is overcompensated by taxpayers. But I’m guessing that DC’s vast population of lobbyists and influence peddlers dominate the upper end of the income spectrum. And that community of back scratchers and deal makers are getting even richer thanks to Obamacare.”
