The new list of the rich­est coun­ties in Amer­ica is out and guess where the rich­est one is located.

I’ll give you three hints.

It is not located near Detroit, where they make cars.

It is not located near Pitts­burgh, where they make steel.

It’s not located near Chicago, the man­u­fac­tur­ing and retail hub of the country.

OK. Three more.

It’s not located near Hous­ton, where they import and refine much of our oil.

It’s not located near Omaha, where they process much of our beef.

It’s not located near Sil­i­con Val­ley, where they do a lot of high tech com­puter stuff, nor near Red­mond, Wash­ing­ton, where they do a lot of the soft­ware, nor near Dal­las, where they make a lot of the chips.

OK. One More.

It’s not located near any area of the coun­try that grows, man­u­fac­tures, designs, builds, makes, or sells any­thing of any use to anybody.

Give up? OK. Remem­ber Derbyshire’s advice:  get a Gov­ern­ment Job! And remem­ber, the next time you hear

• it’s for the homeless
• it’s for the starving
• it’s for the fill in the blank minority
• it’s for the country’s future
• it’s for the children

for­got one — sorry

• it’s for the environment

you’ll know who it’s really for, won’t you?
