Republicans – White Males Taking Away Benefits for Others Not Like Them

Republicans, almost all white male, are celebrating today the passage in the House of Representatives of the new GOP health care bill, that will gut health care for millions.

While there were a handful of female lawmakers present, many on social media pointed to the overwhelming presence of white men on hand to celebrate a bill that seeks to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood and make pregnancy significantly more expensive.

Here again are people on top of the hierarchy making decisions that negatively impact people who are not like them, who they push lower on their hierarchies rationalizing that lower people don't deserve benefits anyway.
