I couldn't find any facts to what I had heard for so many years. I did find something to a story where Pike county once had more Millionaires per capita than any other county. and found another story where the city of Pikeville Ky had less than 5000 population and had more than 60 millionaires. in regards to the conversation, I just wanted to let folks know that there are people in eastern Ky with money. by the way, even President Obama is wrong once in a while.

I just thought it was a compelling statement, and just wondered about the validity of it. Then when I went looking, I found a whole lot about poor counties, but nothing about millionaires / county. Tough.

Bottom line.........there are a whole lot of poor. Some simply cannot pull themselves up and out, due to all kinds of reason, and in those cases, I'd love to see our foreign social aid spent here instead of in Africa and other poorer countries.

The world doesn't want us to be the cop, maybe we shouldn't be the worlds piggy bank either...
