I have absolutely nothing against those blessed with great wealth. But to those whom much has been given - including wealth - much is expected.

What kind of people make a bag that costs $100k? Does it come with a down payment for a small home? Does it come with a car? A live-in boyfriend (from a woman’s point of view)? A free vacation for 2 weeks to the Bahamas?

That sentiment went out (if it was ever truly in) a long time ago. I would say if you are are alive you’ve been given much, and should act accordingly.

I also question what makes a purse worth $100K. I passed through a Hermes store once many years ago. I had never heard of the brand. I was looking at a scarf and the salesman informed me it was “only” $700, and “Imagine what my wife would think of it...”

I said, she’d kick my butt if I paid that much, and left.

The bag in question is probably only worth 300.00 or so.

The 100,000 that was paid for it still exists...someone has that cash.

If they had actually destroyed 100,000 dollars worth of something then this would be disgraceful. Like suppose they destroyed 100,000 worth of fresh eggs.

What they actually did is spend 100,000 dollars to create a special effect....what’s the big deal?

How much American taxpayer money did Mooch waste on taking her entire entouage on the Spain trip?

How much American taxpayer money do each of the luxurious vacations our leader and his family take in these times of huge job losses and great economic loss cost us?

How much money did Nancy Pelosi waste on flying her family around in military aircraft (with fancy food and drink) while we paid for it? Aren't Pelosi and her spouse among the nation's richest people?

How much taxpayer money has been jetisonned to Obama donors as "stimulus funds" for solar companies that weren't financially vetted and went keput?

How many "parties" at the White House with leftist celebtrities used taxpayer funds while Americans were struggling to pay mortgages and have constant fear their job will disappear?

Can’t help but think that the destruction would be totally overlooked by the writer and sponsors if the handbag were a fetus.

I used to like Clint, but he really went downhill after Sondra Locke ruined him. Now he’s just another hollywood leftie limo lib.

I’m a right-to-life Christian who would have sold the Hermes bag and used the proceeds to fund pro-life causes.
