The 5 richest counties are because they are all government employees. Notice I said employees and not workers.

The government sucks money from the rest of the country and distributes it amongst the swamp creatures.

Remember to count academia in those high paying jobs.

The military doesn't make it rich. It's the federal workers who get decent salaries and better benefits like their own insurance plans outside Obamacare. They are exempt from the bad policies the politicians force on us.

Actually it's 4. Falls Church City is a municipality within Fairfax County.

Montgomery County MD would be higher up the list if it wasn't a sanctuary county.
