Maryland is now the Richest State

At least based upon Median Household Income it is. According to the Census Bureau Maryland ($65,144) passed New Jersey ($64,470) which fell into second place. Connecticut ($63,422) was third followed by Hawaii ($61,160) and Massachusetts ($59,963) to round out the top five.

At the bottom of the list was Mississippi ($34,473) followed by West Virginia ($35,059), Arkansas ($36,599), Oklahoma ($38,770) and Alabama ($38,783).

I guess this surprises me a little. I always thought Connecticut would top the list. I didn’t even know New Jersey was 1st last year.

The following chart shows the two year Household Income Median average distribution across the U.S.
I guess all of the South's bible thumbing and defense of "moral values" isn't convincing Sky Daddy to shower them with earthly riches is it? You suppose that he's afraid of corrupting them or is it that he doesn't really approve of their behavior? Maybe they should try praying a little more?
