I think you are correct.

Tweety is the ultimate stupid white man from whatever way you view it. That is why he is always propping up and gushing over stupid white men.

We have great medical benefits where I work, but when the subject of nationalized healthcare came up in the 90's, a Republican coworker always used the talking points: "We can't afford it", to which I would respond, "Well, we can afford it for you".

When Sharpton discussed where the funds would come from for a healthcare program, it didn't seem to register with Matthews, as if he was so conditioned to the "we can't afford it" meme, nothing else penetrated.
Questions of affordability never seem to enter the debate when it comes to military adventures or the unaccounted for trillions lost in the black hole of the Pentagon, or the tax breaks and corporate bailouts for the class that has successfully purchased government. Why is it that the richest country in the world can't afford healthcare for its citizens, but every other developed country can? Why is it that the actual citizens of the US are the lowest national priority, expected to do their patriotic duty, consume, provide cannon fodder and not ask for anything on their investment?
