Title: Once again . . .
Post by: sonofdaxjones on September 25, 2013, 01:55:35 PM
The top 4 out of 5, highest avg. household income counties in the United States.   All in suburban/metro D.C.

Federal Government:  Biggest intake of tax receipts ever in FY 2013 (but still $800 billion short of a balanced budget).

State and Local Gov't:  The top 2 quarters for personal income/property/usage/fuel etc etc tax "revenues" ever, 4th Qtr 2012, 2nd Qtr 2013, with a prediction that 4th Qtr 2013 will break another quarterly record.  (Many of them still millions, if not billions in the hole budget wise).

Remember when everyone said Johnson county had the second highest income on the country (behind Beverly Hills or some other silly place?)

I think that was close to being the case for a time way back, but that hasn't been the case for years.

I should have said median, not average, don't get all angered up and sarcastic about it.

I guess we could get pissed except I'm willing to bet a good portion of this board's (DINK's) household income is higher than the #2, and maybe the #1.

I would go further than that. I would say all of the SIWKs on here are ahead of #1.

FWIW,

I think the counties around D.C. would still have the highest median incomes in the U.S. even if we were more fiscally responsible.

The government revenues are a large part of the economy and the administration of the redistribution is centered around D.C. thus leaving a lot of well paying jobs in a dense area.

I remember this little "factoid" being thrown around when I first got to KSU almost 20 years ago   :cyclist:.  I didn't believe it then and I don't believe it now.

Everyone kept telling me that when I moved there in 1999. Never understood how that could even be remotely close to true. Mission Hills as a town is pretty high up, but everyone in Lenexa and Olathe are just riding their nutsacks.
