Yes, I'm aware. Which is why I added disclaimers about knowing the emotion was not entirely rational. I know the entire situation around his purchase of the car, etc. It's all water under the bridge at this point so I won't rehash it.

Still, when you're a leader, it is good practice to lead rather than make excuses to flaunt your lifestyle in others' faces.
EDIT: Don't mean you personally. :)
Maybe. But most employees don't seem to care that:
1) the boss may have gotten the money to buy the car before owning the current company. Most people in business have had multiple businesses throughout their lives. Even if it's not, they risked everything to create the company that now employs you.
2) The boss probably lost much more than the employees. When an employee loses a job, it sucks. But they can often times get unemployment and find another job (I've worked for plenty of companies that went under over the years).
The boss loses: money (if they are a co-owner, they probably invested money), reputation, and credit is possibly damaged.
