The only problem with your characterization is a lefty is more likely
to be rich. The blue counties are certainly richer than the red ones.

That's right. The general population of blue states are better off than
those in the red states. This, I suppose, is a bad thing... that under
Democrat leadership, people tend to prosper.


Lawyers, doctors, insurance companies and government workers do a
whole lot better.

Sheesh, thought they had all those folks in Red states too.

You are right. Lawyers are a virus that has infected every nook and
cranny of the country sucking our blood like bedbugs.
I still bet big city lawyers make more than the ambulance chasers we
have here, simply because they have deeper pockets to pick.
A Lawyer in a small Town decided he wanted the local boat launch and
recreation of a neighborhood. Everyone, in the county, used it .
There were no public hearings no notification to the residents..nothing.
One day he told one Resident that he couldn't come back there again. he
fenced it off. He sold the tractor and mower etc that the neighbors had
kept there, to maintain it and sold them. Some of The Residents sought
the services of another Attorney. No one would take it saying there was
nothing they could do. In short it seems that they wouldn't do anything
to one of their small cliche.
Another Attorney got his car washed regularly at a local car wash, in a
southern city. The car wash offered a free rewash of any vehicle, if it
rained within it 24 hours. The Attorney started getting his car washed
and parking it in the garage and taking his wife's car to have it washed
.. The Owner caught on and said he couldn't do that. The lawyer said
what's the difference.
So the Owner quit giving coupons for the free re wash.
Another Resident of a small town wanted the local boat launch and dock
etc of another neighborhood. He wasn't a Lawyer but was in tight with
the small cliche. No hearing no nothing He paid some taxes and took
possession. he probably doesn't wonder why no one speaks to him. Trying
to get an Attorney to rectify the situation was again fruitless.
Two of the incidents were over five years ago. The other not so long ago.
I know or knew many fine Attorneys etc but some of the new breed get
into the profession purely to feather their pockets any way they can.

Not as many and not as rich

Is it because blue states are just more packed with more natural and
business resources or is it that blue citizens have made 'em that way?

Interesting question.
It has to be pointed out that the greatest income disparity is in the
biggest cities so there is not going to be one answer.
Another interesting thing is the two richest Americans (Gates and
Buffett) do not live in a big city.

Gates' house is near Seattle.
Buffet lives outside of Omaha.

You expect them to live in the inner city?

'Near' and 'in' are two entirely different things.

Seattle and Omaha are not really big cities in the DC/NYC/Chicago
sense.

So, I guess Bloomberg isn't rich. Seems to me that you enjoy cherry-picking
your facts.

Gates certainly has a significant effect on the Seattle area, even
though his fortune could be characterized as not in Seattle.

His house is within two miles of Seattle city limits, and the
foundation is in Seattle. A good portion of salaried Microsoft
employees reside in Seattle and now a number of buildings in Seattle
are being occupied by Microsoft employees.
