One would have to be amazingly uniformed to form his attitude of the DC area from the info found at the links that Steelers10 provided. Having lived there for much of my life, I can tell you that there's literally NOTHING that could prompt me to return.

What's more is that while the DC area may well be the richest in the country, its economy is based solely on taxing hard-working Americans like you and me and then paying government employees -- far, far, far more of them than we actually need -- wages and benefits that are much higher than anyone else except union workers.

I hope you all enjoy these articles. Meanwhile let's all pray for Louisiana and the rest of the Deep South that the shroud of ignorance will be lifted!

Sounds like Louisiana. Gets way more money back from the fed than they pay in.

No I don't have anything. I'm simply stating a fact. Overall, Louisiana is known as a conservative state. After talking with the locals for the years I've been here, I've found most are against big government and against taxes. However, Louisiana receives far more in federal funding than it provides in tax revenue.

Well maybe you will enjoy hearing it from another source, Louisiana is a welfare queen that pays the second lowest amount of federal taxes per capita and receives back the fourth highest amount per capita. As a matter of fact, almost all red states are welfare queens. Ironic isn't it?

That should be "uninformed" not "uniformed". Once again, the uneducated don't make it very far in metro DC. By the way, Maryland residents pay the fifth highest federal taxes per capita and Washington D.C. residents pay the highest federal taxes per capita. Not surprising this population (which would have been the 36th largest state at the time when tax rates for the wealthy were at their highest in the 20th century) has no Senators or voting representation in Congress to prevent red states from bleeding the United States into oblivion with their self-entitlement spending.

Maybe you should have actually read the links you were criticizing. That would be Washington County, Maryland (as it clearly stated in the article). You know, the first jurisdiction in the United States named after George Washington (in 1776) over 20 years before Washington D.C. was carved out of Maryland territory to become the official capital of the United States. So, you lived in the DC area most of your life?
