Loudoun County only ranks high because it’s rural. If you were to adjust these rankings for population density, Loudoun would plummet to the mid-200s, at best. San Mateo Couny (CA), Marin County (CA), Fairfield County (CT), and Morris County (NJ) are the country’s true pockets of affluence, driven by Silicon Valley and Wall Street.
Nope. Rural areas in general are poorer. Loudoun county has 380,000 people, the third biggest county in Virginia and the fastest growing county in the US. There is a rural section of Loudoun, but it’s small compared to the rest of the county. 75% of web traffic goes through Loudoun county. But it’s more federal money that makes Loudoun rich.
Gonna drain that swamp. Not going to mess with Medicare/Medicaid/social Security. Mexico is going to pay for that wall. Wonderful, fantastic, beautiful Trumpcare.
Lies……
Remember one of the chants he started;
Lyin Ted, Lyin Ted.
He will be one and done.
Yep. Now, I encourage people to chant Mueller, Mueller, Mueller, followed by Pence, Pence, Pence.
Hopefully Mueller can put Pence in the White House sooner than later.
Impeach Trump.
Darn good idea!
My wife and I like Pence very much (like the folks back home in Hillsville). Frankly the other side (Bernie) scares the heck out of me.
Another lie?;
In the primary at a NH car dealership Trump vowed that all HB labor will be using the program properly. I have yet to witness this on the job.
I do not believe Trump is deporting anymore than Bush 43′, or Obama was in his first term. It’s all a lie.
Don’t get me started on Bush (I voted for twice).He is the reason for my avatar. He is the first American to sell out America by perpetuating the lie ; Americans don’t want to work.(oxymoron here; “white collar builder”, now how many hold office?) And Americans don’t want to work , just the elected ones!!! Perhaps Loudoun is at the top being that there is much to be made off the back of the working man. I see illegal immigration is worse in NOVA and MD. Enough of the indentured citizenry. History is repeating itself again with the Republican Nominee Ed Gillespie (Bush advisor). Buyer beware!!!!!
I will take Southwest Va any and every day at the top people are the treasure.
No way!
The limousine liberals of Loudoun.
Northern Virginia pigs continue to suckle off the teat of government (taxpayers).
You betcha!
Yea, but are these super rich counties funding their employee pensions plans in a sustainable manner?
Must you always be such a drag and so terribly wrong? Yes, pension plans are fine. Ask around Loudoun.
Perhaps you should read the article about Fairfax over at the competitors blog?
