According to the American Community Survey's new five-year estimates (2012-2016), the five richest counties in the country are: Loudoun County, Va., where the median household income was $125,672; Falls Church City, Va., where it was $115,244; Fairfax County, Va., where it was $114,329; Howard County, Md., where it was $113,800; and Arlington County, Va., where it was $108,706.
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.
