Health care lobbyists hold “White Trash Reception” on Capitol Hill. Hilarious, right low-income, white Americans?

Via the National Journal

Next week, health care lobbying group Strategic Health Care will go to Capitol Hill for their Big Do. That would be the Big Do they’re calling the White Trash Reception. What a knee-slapper, huh? No wealth gappy alienation could ever come from this!

Think Progress nails it:

This event’s theme, however, drives home an image of high-paid Washington lobbyists gathering to snicker at low-income, white Americans.

And those low-incomers can’t afford the lifesaving drugs that provide all those nice, big profits for Strategic Health Care lobbyists.

Who could possibly be offended by that?

Let’s ask Willard Romney what he thinks. Oh wait. He won’t answer.

    In essence I understand what they’re attempting………..but they’ve FAILED.
    Just because you don’t drive a Rolls or a Land Rover, or have BIG diamond rings….doesn’t mean you are not college educated, go around without your shirt sleeves, have Big Hair, have a mullet, or are named Bobbie Ellen Sue.
    They are SOOOOOOOO wrong!!!

    As a low income person who is also a leftie, I am absolutely stunned at this bullshit.   The only difference I can see between who they try to depict as a stereotype and those lobbyists are that the elitist lobbyists have  better dental care and expensive clothes.
