Where Do The Rich And Poor Live?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

From counties with a 50%-plus poverty rate to counties with over 20% of household incomes over $200,000, the United States is increasingly becoming a divided union. But all the time American Idol is on, and the iPad is still running, Aldous Huxley's vision of a 'numb' society (as opposed to an Orwellian 1984 'imposed' utopia) seems more and more realistic.

A more interesting map would be a 1-sigma spread of incomes.  If everyone in an area earns the same the spread would be zero.  If there is a mix of millionaires and poor the 1-sigma spread would be very large.  I think that what you;d see is that the areas with the most government would have the largest spreads.

This map is meaningless without deomgraphics.
The big red swath across the South is a nigger infection.
Most of the red areas in TX, the Southwest, and Inland Northwest are infections of Mexcrements and other Latrinos.
The other random red areas throughout the West are IATCZs (Injun Alcohol, Tabacco, and Casino Zones).

If your gonna piss everyone off you should piss everyone off.

“If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs,” explained the late Gary Allen. “Communism or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite.”

Don't be stupid. Everyone knows there are many poor farms in SD. It's analogous to the many idiot farms around Guangdong where you were harvested.
