“Want to know why – as shown by this map – most of America’s richest counties are part of the metropolitan DC region? Part of the answer is that federal bureaucrats are overpaid. 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.”
