[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Howard County is wealthy, but Montgomery County is declining, mainly because of its socialist policies. PG is PG. Western MD and most of the Eastern Shore is poor. And…Baltimore?

Anyways, I don’t get how MD is always first in household income. How does it beat out Massachusetts, Connecticut, and California. Also some of the oil states like Texas and Alaska have a lot of wealth. I guess the rural counties in Virginia drag down the average wealth/income since Northern Virginia and the Richmond area are very rich. [/quote]

Howard County has always been the the richest county. It has NOTHING to do with MoCo declining because of socialist policies. Give me a break. It's because MoCo has always had vast wealth, but lots of poverty. HoCo doesn't. They don't have vast wealth, but they don't have large swaths of poverty either. They don't have the poverty to weigh it down.

FYI - I'm from Ellicott City. The taxes are very high there.[/quote]
+1 Howard and Loudoun are very similar that way.[/quote]
