and i bet a lot of the poorest counties are republican counties.

cities tend to vote democratic. rural areas tend to vote republican. so, the poorest cities vote democrat and the poorest counties vote republican.

i bet if you looked up the top ten richest cities... most of them would be democrat as well. but, surely you wouldn't use that as evidence that democrats create wealth better?

Shocking. All places where real estate costs are through the roof and any salary below $300k is really considered poverty.

[Skjellyfetti]

Yeah, they're wealthy places, AZ. Great observation....

Pretty sure it is you and the other Conks that don't consider their median salaries to be wealthy, though.

Only wealthy people can AFFORD to live there.......the poor get booted to Cleveland, Detroit, El Paso, etc....

Nothing new, everyone knows this is what happens when Democrats are elected.


They know nothing about running a business or a country so its no wonder they fail so miserably.
