It absolutely infuriated me during the last election when the Republican candidates kept telling Midwesterners and small town people that they were the "Real Americans" and these ads seem to be an outgrowth of that. What, I'm not real because I've lived my whole life on the East Coast, and more than half in NYC? New York is only for rich people? No.
I understand the anger at Wall Street, but there are ways to get that across without smearing a city that has been hit hard by this recession.
