The country may have started its long haul back to economic recovery â" if recent news that consumer spending increased slightly in January is any indication. But even so, most Americans still aren't ready to brag about their paychecks.
Except, perhaps, in Loudoun County, Va., where median household incomes are higher than anywhere else in the country. This affluent suburb of Washington, D.C., where families take home a median $110,643 annually, tops our list of America's 25 richest counties.
Fresh off Forbes mag; my little ol' county of Leesburg is at the top of the charts. This isen't a bragging post, just want to know what you all think.
Basicly Loudoun is the richest because of it's large government working population, and the strong push to lower unemployment throughout the Metropoliatin area. Which is currently only about 6%.
Bill Gates down in Orange county aint got nothin on us :3 (yeah that was a brag)
Really? I'v been there twice and would beg to differ, you can't say another country is worse off because you cannot get worse off. Desiese, no clean water, 1 meal a day if you are lucky, little to no clothing. Who do you think is poorer then that?
So, your family has broken out of the ghetto now? Also, it should be time I Googled where the county was in the first place.
I never missed a meal and I went to bed with a roof over my head, I'm not saying I was bad off... Merely that I didn't have it made my whole life, I was stabbed twice as a kid... and there was 2 gangs. So eventually we moved away..and my dad got a nice promotion.
If you want to Google where I currently live, It's Leesburg Virginia, Loudoun county 20175.

No comment since I've always been safe from those types of things. seems like a tough life but it appears you got lucky with your dads promotion, and not to be disrespectful but does your mom live with you guys >.>?
Since I'm a smug *** who has studied basic economics, no Haiti is not the poorest country by virtue of its GDP which is higher than some other nations.

I'm not going to deny that living conditions in Haiti are any worse than say, a nation in Africa, mostly because I haven't been to many African nations. But what I can argue for, is that Haiti's GDP, that is, the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period is definitely not the lowest in the world.

GDP SCHMEEDEEPEE!!! At least African nations have other nations around that they can steal from... Haiti only has that DR and believe me, they aint getting past that border. I lost my passport one time on that border, it was the most scariest time of my life... HAHA but I found it!
How bad is the border of the Dominican Republic >.>?
Imagine 150 armed DR's with 2 HQs sitting there waiting for a Haitian to try to get through, not to mention the united nations have Humvee's patrolling all the time.
