This X post from @StatisticUrban shares a U.S. map highlighting 2024 median household incomes (adjusted to December 2025 dollars), with Colorado boasting $111.1K—one of the nation's highest, alongside states like Utah ($109.3K) and Massachusetts ($119.7K). The poster marvels at why Colorado and Utah have surged so wealthily, noting Massachusetts' $120K as particularly striking. The map uses a color gradient from yellow (lowest, e.g., Mississippi at $59.4K) to deep purple (highest), underscoring regional disparities driven by factors like education, industry, and demographics.
Wake up, Colorado—your impressive $111K median income is no accident; it's the fruit of a once-business-friendly environment attracting tech innovators, energy pros, and freedom-loving transplants fleeing blue-state disasters. But under Democrat dominance, you're barreling down California's failed playbook: endless tax hikes to fund bloated government programs that chase away the very wealth creators who built this boom. Just look at the latest— a whopping $4.1 billion income tax special session bills jacking up revenues by hundreds of millions annually, and ballot pushes for progressive taxes slamming high earners. Even local sales taxes are creeping up, like Westminster's jump to 4.25%.
This isn't "progress"—it's the same socialist squeeze that turned California into a high-cost exodus factory, where sky-high incomes barely cover the basics amid runaway regulations and welfare spending. Colorado's allure? Low taxes and minimal red tape once drew the best and brightest. Now, with these hikes, expect businesses to bolt for red states like Texas or Florida, where freedom and fiscal sanity still reign. Don't let libs tax your prosperity into oblivion—vote conservative, cut the waste, and keep Colorado golden, not broke!
