His income is not insanely high. As I said, corrected for cost of living, it's not outside the bounds for cops with loads of overtime here in ABQ. If a cop was interviewed saying it was hard to make do with reduced overtime due to lower tax revenues in ABQ, why would you not hate him just the same as this guy?
What about teachers. You could find many dozens of stories about teachers in cities all over the US complaining that they are only getting a X% pay RAISE while the people around them in this economy are losing their entire livelihood. Do you hate them, too? If not, why not?
Again, I'm just not understanding why some people are so worked up about him. His lifestyle in NY is actually pretty middle class. The fancy car is a clear luxury in NYC, but who knows if he bought it new for 90 grand, or used for half that (in the latter case it's not excessive at all)?
Why the animus?
