All citizens of the town must be wealthy, because the town has the highest total income of any town in the state.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that it
- fails to provide a clear definition of the term 'wealthy'
- relies on a comparison between two things that are not sufficiently similar
- takes for granted that residing in the town is required in order to be wealthy
- infers that each individual member of a group has a property that in fact belongs only to the group taken collectively
- assumes that because the town leads the state today, it will continue to do so in the future
