(14,626 posts)We don't know if the purse was named after her because she popularized the purse by wearing it. We don't know if she makes any money on it at all on it. That is quite a leap on your part. And let's say she does for a moment, what does Aniston do with the profits? Who knows, Aniston has given millions of dollars to many causes including victims of Katrina and in Haiti.
What is different about Oprah is that she has set herself on a perch as a spiritual and moral leader on her show. She has lectured her audiences about the pain of poverty, and her personal integrity. Yet she lives her life as a 1%'er, numb to the fact that she is now part of the problem.
Sure she earned the money and the Koch Brothers, Lloyd Blankfein and the Wall Street banksters all say they have earned theirs too.
The problem is that their is so much income discrepancy that our country is literally falling apart.
Yes, Oprah and her purse are the problem.
