He's not "rich."

350k in Manhattan is not rich, period. It's certainly not POOR, but it isn't rich. It's functionally the same as making about 150k in a mid sized city out in the flyover states where life is cheap. 150k in such a place is upper middle class, and in fact well within the reach of normal folks with 2 incomes. There are numerous kids in the private school my kids attend who have cops and firefighters for parents (and a bunch who have teachers in the public schools for parents (which should tell you something about the public schools here)).

The guys is (as I said) every bit the jerk. So are all the teachers in NJ... remember the sh*tstorm when Christy wanted to delay their raise because the average employee in the private sector in NJ had lost income, not gained it? He was pilloried.
