If anyone needs an example of the kind of straw man argument used by the Right Wing, here is a quote from Thomas Sowell I saw floating around Facebook the last couple days:
“It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.”
On the contrary, the whole point is that we think we can afford it, which is why we are in favor of it. It's the Right Wingers who say we can't afford it and aren't willing to pay for it. It's a cute quote but it's nonsense.
