美國腐敗政治的地圖: 最富有的 25 個縣排名
(2010-03-07 11:41:47)
下一個
最近, 美國最富有的 25 個縣排名出爐. 從其中不難看到美國政治的腐敗. 其第 1,2,3,6,9,10,12,13,14,21,23名 竟然都是圍繞著首都WASHINGTON DC. 第16名也不遠. 也就是說, 有近一半的所謂最富有的縣是靠吃納稅人的錢財的碩鼠.
加州的矽穀 所在的 SANTA CLARA COUNTY 一直到今天仍然是人們, 特別是老中們津津樂道的樂土. 這裏有著GOOGLE, APPLE, YAHOO.... 等等如雷灌耳的著名的高科技企業, 居住著眾多的身懷絕技的工程師,科學家. 有著大量的靠自己的奮鬥成功的故事. GUESS WHAT? 這個縣隻是名列區區第19名而已.
這難道不值得我們思考嗎?

This article did not specify the ranking is based on median income, NOT average income. I think it can be better interpreted as smaller proportion of poor residents, instead of more rich residents, in these counties. NYC, LA, SF surburbs will rank much better if it is average income.
Higher income around DC does not support the conclusion of corruption in fed government. Look at the education level of residents, DC surburs are among the best educated. NASA and NIH each boasts of thousands of employees with Ph.D. degrees. It is NOT suprising for people with better education to command higher salary.

我不是故意跟你抬杠, 隻是說一下我知道的事實
如果把此當腐敗,幹淨的政治隻會出現於共產主義教科書裏。
中國體製若達美國這步,人民養一些個嫻人,值呐。
或者那種公寓,一買很多套啊。還是收租金,勞苦的命。
我的認識的一個混到美企中層的老中對我說,活的太辛苦,90% 的精力用於鬥爭。我說,我怎麽感覺不到美國的人際關係複雜?人家哈哈一笑,“因為你混在底層”。
據我所知, Fairfax作為全美最富的幾個縣之一, 已經是很多年的事了, 這裏的公立學校係統據說是全美最好的, 所以很多人也因為子女的教育而搬到大華府地區來。這樣也加速了大華府地區的繁榮。 美國並沒有“戶口”限製, 人們隻要在當地的公司找到一份工作, 就可以在那裏安家了。 Fairfax地區的華人還是很多的。 我就是其中的一個。
單單就IT民工來說,同樣的position, 微軟和格魯門的pay的絕對不一樣, 因為格魯門要tsc, 這些職務不會out source的。
而且加州大量老墨把平均值拉下來了。(當然政府都破產了)
相對來說,加州更是外國人創業/淘金的天堂。 (單單就做民工,加州沒有任何優勢)DC是本國人創業淘金的天堂。Street也是。
說的太對了。前五名,有3個在大華府地區。前十名,前二十名名,自己點吧。
加州上榜沒幾個。
文章作者眼力。
在看此文之前,我對這個作者一無所知。不過一看此文,我就知道作者的深度。
我的博導20年前在美國時就有了類似的結論:在美國是一流人才搞政治,二流人才經商,三流人才才做學問。為甚麽?跟在中國一樣,有權來錢最快,區別是在美國還不會掉腦袋。
現在還有為了理想或人民搞政治的,包括偶吧馬,而不是為了(黑)錢?
看來,BZ的名字起的真恰當 --- “無根的浮萍”,輕飄飄,沒根底!
The "richest counties" are having very higher education levels. It is the high eduction making the "richer".
