Ms. Gelinas is a bit deluded. There are too many breaks for the upper class and whether these i-bankers feel ripped off by the higher taxes they do rely upon the middle class to watch their children, feed them, do their laundry, be their concierge and get them to and from work.

The well to do can afford to keep up with the costs of living in NYC, which is far more than the CPI estimate, but for the rest of this city the weight is forcing them out in droves or into a state of perpetual poverty. This sense of divine entitlement must end.
