美国腐败政治的地图: 最富有的 25 个县排名
(2010-03-07 11:41:47)
下一个
最近, 美国最富有的 25 个县排名出炉. 从其中不难看到美国政治的腐败. 其第 1,2,3,6,9,10,12,13,14,21,23名 竟然都是围绕着首都WASHINGTON DC. 第16名也不远. 也就是说, 有近一半的所谓最富有的县是靠吃纳税人的钱财的硕鼠.
加州的硅谷 所在的 SANTA CLARA COUNTY 一直到今天仍然是人们, 特别是老中们津津乐道的乐土. 这里有着GOOGLE, APPLE, YAHOO.... 等等如雷灌耳的著名的高科技企业, 居住着众多的身怀绝技的工程师,科学家. 有着大量的靠自己的奋斗成功的故事. GUESS WHAT? 这个县只是名列区区第19名而已.
这难道不值得我们思考吗?

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, 只是说一下我知道的事实
如果把此当腐败,干净的政治只会出现于共产主义教科书里。
中国体制若达美国这步,人民养一些个娴人,值呐。
或者那种公寓,一买很多套啊。还是收租金,劳苦的命。
我的认识的一个混到美企中层的老中对我说,活的太辛苦,90% 的精力用于斗争。我说,我怎么感觉不到美国的人际关系复杂?人家哈哈一笑,“因为你混在底层”。
据我所知, Fairfax作为全美最富的几个县之一, 已经是很多年的事了, 这里的公立学校系统据说是全美最好的, 所以很多人也因为子女的教育而搬到大华府地区来。这样也加速了大华府地区的繁荣。 美国并没有“户口”限制, 人们只要在当地的公司找到一份工作, 就可以在那里安家了。 Fairfax地区的华人还是很多的。 我就是其中的一个。
单单就IT民工来说,同样的position, 微软和格鲁门的pay的绝对不一样, 因为格鲁门要tsc, 这些职务不会out source的。
而且加州大量老墨把平均值拉下来了。(当然政府都破产了)
相对来说,加州更是外国人创业/淘金的天堂。 (单单就做民工,加州没有任何优势)DC是本国人创业淘金的天堂。Street也是。
说的太对了。前五名,有3个在大华府地区。前十名,前二十名名,自己点吧。
加州上榜没几个。
文章作者眼力。
在看此文之前,我对这个作者一无所知。不过一看此文,我就知道作者的深度。
我的博导20年前在美国时就有了类似的结论:在美国是一流人才搞政治,二流人才经商,三流人才才做学问。为甚麽?跟在中国一样,有权来钱最快,区别是在美国还不会掉脑袋。
现在还有为了理想或人民搞政治的,包括偶吧马,而不是为了(黑)钱?
看来,BZ的名字起的真恰当 --- “无根的浮萍”,轻飘飘,没根底!
The "richest counties" are having very higher education levels. It is the high eduction making the "richer".
