You want to alienate people who are actually familiar with this practice and tell them you aren't interested in their issues, mock the bread bags. I think the scorn needs to be much more tightly focused on the politician and her policies.

The only people alienated by Ernst's mocking are those who choose to be alienated by falsely (and consciously) extrapolating the criticism of her to all poor people.

Harkin to Ernst? How does a population even make that leap?

Then again, I know. I live in Massachusetts. Senator Kennedy, bright, traditional Democrat, gracious, to Scott Brown, dull, Republican, narcissistic, mean-spirited, petty, courtesy of the Koch brothers.
