On Wednesday, April 28, 2010, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation met with billionaires, millionaires and politicos at the Ronald Reagan Building in D.C. The day after the new Fiscal Commission held their first meeting, these leaders gathered in secret to devise ways to cut Social Security benefits (not the reason for the budget deficit) in the name of the federal budget deficit.

OUTSIDE the meeting, ‘Billionaires for Social Insecurity’ gathered to ask the public in a more outright fashion to hand over their Social Security checks.

The Billionaires for Wealthcare showered Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell with real bills on behalf of the insurance industry for the GOP’s extraordinary attempts to kill health care reform. The Billionaires met McConnell as he left his appearance on Face the Nation at CBS News in DC.

“Senator McConnell, thank you for all your hard work – here’s a little something extra from the insurance industry” The Billionaires shouted as they tossed their bills. “Vote ‘no’ to kill healthcare reform and there’s more on the way”

The event capped off the nation’s tumultuous health care debate, which saw every member of the GOP attempt to thwart reforms that would lower costs, increase access and end atrocious industry practices.

“We’ve been spending over $5 million per week to kill healthcare reform” said health insurance executive Clay M. Denyed. “We’re glad to finally go public with our support. Besides, confetti is cheap – we know that only money means anything to the GOP.”

On March 9, 2010, a rally was held in Washington, D.C. championing Healthcare Reform. Billionaires showed up to bring some insurance industry reason to the event.

Billionaires for Wealthcare made an appearance at the health care rally at Dupont Circle in Washington DC on March 9th 2010.

Brown supporters got rough with the Billionaires on the final day of campaigning, but we know Scott’s there for us – the Bankers – in the end. Thanks to everyone who came out to support big banks holding on to the bailout!

Scott Brown stands with banks against repaying the bailout – and so we’re out to make him the next Massachusetts Senator. Check’s in the mail, Scott!

Billionaires in our nation’s capital briefly came down from their hilltop mansions in their shiny white limos to remind Senate members who really pay their bills. Our reform fighting senators Bob Corker (R, TN) and Chuck Grassley (R, IA) were particularly happy to see us. Our buddy Corker even thanked us for our unbidden support! See that video here.

Along the way our Billionaire heroes came across a relatively disappointing teabagger showing just outside capital. Koch, next time we need to send more buses! Those teabaggers who were brave enough to fight off the delightful weather were nonetheless spirited in their opposition to universal healthcare and any bill that might encumber our god-given rights to exorbitant profits (at their expense)!

“[The Billionaires were] able to thank two of their ‘business partners’ in the Senate, Bob Corker (R, TN) and Chuck Grassley (R, IA) in person. Corker seemed happy to see them, even thanking the Billionaires for being there; Grassley seemed a little less enthusiastic.”

When a plebeian mob demands accountability from our beloved Blue Cross, the Billionaires were there to protect their beautiful cash cow and sing encouraging songs!
