Politicians running for re-election should beware.
1) In 2010 half of all United States workers earned less than $27,000---adjusted for inflation the lowest median wage since 1999;
2) In 2011 with six-figure salaries received by lobbyists, lawyers, and federal employees leading the way Washington D.C. has overtaken Silicon Valley as the wealthiest metropolitan area in the country. A typical household in the nation's capital earned a little over $84,000.
Something is wrong when the seat of Federal Government is the wealthiest metropolitan area in the United States.
