I love handbags

204. You are clearly uninformed on the point

cheap versions of designer labels are made me made in overseas factories, but those high end bags are made by hand, typically in Europe. That is part of the reason they are so expensive. Even this bag that comes in at under $4000 is made in Italy. http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/p/Tom-Ford-Medium-Kidskin-Natalia-Bag/prod79100008/?ecid=BGCIGoogleProductAds&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=prod79100008skuBLACK
You can be sure a $38k bag is Italian made as well.

You keep making absurd points by saying " in that analogy"or "in that reasoning" that make zero sense in the context of the discussion. You clearly have not made an effort to understand my points, probably because it requires reflecting on your own role in promoting economic inequality, which you steadfastly refuse to do.

You refuse to acknowledge the nature of the economy and that promoting consumption of cheap products actually creates low wages and poverty. Your primary point seems to be to finger wag at others, while showing no willingness to examine your own role in perpetuating poverty and low wages, or to even think seriously about the problem of economic inequality. People love to wag their fingers at others. What they don't do is accept any responsibility for their own role in the economic system. This is all about what you like and what you think is acceptable according to YOUR standards. You can buy anything you want, regardless of where it is made and who suffers in the manufacturing of that product but Oprah committed a mortal sin by having the nerve to ask to look at something YOU think is too expensive. This isn't about poverty or low wages, it's about your tastes and what you think is acceptable. Plenty of people on this planet would consider the consumption of you, me, and the average DUer to be every bit as disgusting as you consider Oprah's. You refuse to reflect on that because it's all about what you think is too expensive. Navel gazing is not thoughtful political analysis.
