Authoritarian salaries
Remember those academic authoritarians at UNLV who wanted to civilize native Nevadans via military force (or at least a force of enlightened men like them)? Yes, those gentlemen were unhappy that Nevadans - real or imagined - preferred gambling and drinking rather than paying taxes to support fine art, music, theatre and the professors' salaries.
Speaking of salaries, NPRI acquired more public-worker salaries last week. So how much are these UNLV professors making?
*Dr. William M. Epstein made $139,633.01 in 2009, with $111,576.96 in base salary.
*Dr. William N. Thompson made $71,366.22 in 2009, with $57,587.52 in base salary.
Both are paid well above the personal per capita income in Nevada of $38,578.
Yup, nothing feels better than being degraded by well-off Ivory Tower elitists who hold jobs subsidized by the very people they appear to loathe.
