Exploitation — 6 of the 10 richest counties in U.S. are in DC area

(From washingtonexaminer.com)

I like Hans Hermann Hoppe’s resurrection of the terms “exploiters” and “exploited.” In his essay, Marxist and Austrian class analysis, he describes the surprisingly common ancestry and common ground between the Marxist and Austrian Schools, then explains how the Marxist depart down the road to tyranny and depravity with their patently absurd Exploitation Theory, which misidentifies the exploiters.

The exploiters are NOT the owners of capital (business men). The exploiters are those who instead of producing goods and services society voluntarily consumes, feast in the coercive sector of the economy — on wealth taken from the voluntary sector of the economy by force or threat of force. These are the exploiters.

And I suspect they are the people who largely make up the 6 out of the 10 richest counties in the U.S. which are around DC.
