无根的浮萍

最近, 美国最富有的 25 个县排名出炉. 从其中不难看到美国政治的腐败. 其第 1,2,3,6,9,10,12,13,14,21,23名 竟然都是围绕着首都WASHINGTON DC. 第16名也不远. 也就是说, 有近一半的所谓最富有的县是靠吃纳税人的钱财的"硕鼠". 加州的"硅谷" 所在的 SANTA CLARA COUNTY 一直到今天仍然是人们, 特别是老中们津津乐道的乐土. 这里有着GOOGLE, APPLE, YAHOO.... 等等如雷灌耳的著名的高科技企业, 居住着众多的身怀绝技的工程师,科学家. 有着大量的靠自己的奋斗成功的故事. GUESS WHAT? 这个县只是名列区区第19名而已.这难道不值得我们思考吗?
