Voting with the 1%

[Ziggy]

The irony is that 8 out of the 10 wealthiest counties in the country voted for Obama. I thought he wanted to raise their taxes and Republicans wanted to protect them. Obviously that wasn't a reason to vote for Republicans.

Yea a little misleading. There are other lists that have up to 7 counties that are around DC that are included in the top 10 wealthiest counties. And I am pretty sure they all voted for Obama, strange how this correlates to the people who work in DC or are directly influenced by the policies of our government.
