MoCo has a high average income only because it has lots of individuals making $100 to $200K a year.  Wealthy obviously but not super rich.  Other wealthy jurisdictions are very different, whether Silicon Valley and NYC.

And those people are the exact ones who aren’t paying their fair share in taxes. If you’re earning over $150K a year, you need to be in a top marginal rate of 90% or more.

You can earn whatever you want. But you’re only keeping $150k. The rest is going to go to the people who need it. [/quote]

Yes, they are paying their fair share.  Sorry.  You do not improve incomes by chasing away the rich.  If your mentality prevails in MC, you will see thousands (minimum) of professionals fleeing MC, and certainly me.  MC already has the highest tax burden in the region.  MC must encourage the private sector to grow.

100% this. Sorry, but I'm not going to live in a county that will cap what I get to keep. Sorry that you didn't work hard enough or decided that you didn't need a higher paying job.  [/quote]

This the direction the country is going in, think about that the next time you vote. [/quote]

Not sure who you were responding to, but I didn't vote for any of the loonies that are in office today, with the exception of Hogan. The Dems running this county are awful. [/quote]
