From what I could gather the salary for a Minnesota house is just over 31,000 annually, he probably isn't eating caviar at a lavish opera or anything.
I think its part of the anti-intellectualism trend that goes strong in conservative circles. After the Conservatives were elected here there was 45 million dollars of funding cut from arts and culture programs, and Harper said something about how ordinary folks don't care about the arts. Artists are rich elitists, donchya know?
