      He doesn't even own any equipment. This is the first time he ever recorded on anything other than a cell phone. He is working with Radio WV and they provided the equipment to record this song. It seems that they are acting in a managerial role in getting his music out there. When he recorded this he was still working in a paper mill. He lives with his dogs in a camper on this property.

      To speak to the end of the video. The system has taught you to punch down. And you willingfully went there, then disclaimered you believe people need help. You will always have both. Same goes for making rich men, in hopes of trickle down theory.
      Fact is, with non bs pay, people don’t need assistance. Or if salaries could cover a household with one income like they did until the early 80’s.
      Then you have some politicians who want to “up the benefits” by requiring working to catch welfare…. That is like an instant wage subsidy for the likes of corporations! We all pay what Walmart won’t.
      Now lastly. Ask yourself why this song resonates. It is a protest song that went viral. Protest songs get zero radio play these days where clear channel aka IHeart who brought you Limbaugh, Oreily, and Hannity, daily to push corporate interests, will never manage to share that there is a segment of people scheduled to suffer under current system. It is baked in.
      God forbid they lose a commercial purchaser because time and a half overtime pay needs to go away, so too does minimum wage, and we all need to pretend it doesn’t hurt people but actually helps.
      Lastly, the government are pawns in the system and can force through what is right and good. They are bought off by the system that allows it. And our Supreme court is unified in that. As they were selected for for that one reason.

    Oliver used the Channel his friend has because it was a bit more established. They were hoping to get 300k views through that channel which happens to have a bunch more great music on it. Oliver now posts on his own account but this was a runaway success and is a song that will be getting covered and sung for a long time to come.

    The way he sings is called an "Appalachian Holler". He's not from Appalachia, but from nearby, in the Piedmont area; so, his way of singing comes natural to us. (I come from Appalachia, but from a different state, than him.)

    For me as a german its interesting to see and hear your opinions about taxes. I'm not knowing the tax system of your country exactly, but in my opinion its not about the amount of taxes but more about the usage of it. I pay more than 50 percent of my income for taxes and social security contributions, but i know the money is in most cases used well. In this system everybody in the country has a health insurances, minimal income for around 750 euros (for unemployees), pension and more...btw its still a great song to listen, with a great drive and soul

You were great!! I have found an absolute new respect for you now!!! I can't say I'm shocked but rather I am so pleased that you support the truth of this young man who sings nothing but the truth!!! This song resonates with millions of Americans and even others across the world, living in countries whose policies are very similar to ours. The saddest thing about this song, however, is it doesn't resonate with the politicians who have put Americans in such dire straits because of greed and power!! Nothing has changed for the better anymore!! Thank you, classy lady for recognizing and reacting, with heartfelt comments about this song and this young man.

    "there was a time when there weren't taxes at all"
    Fun Fact: Income Tax was meant to be a tax on the wealthy. The average person was supposed to not pay it however after it got passed the wealthy who contributed towards political campaigns pressured their politicians to put in loopholes for them and those targeted by such laws expanded to become a source of revenue for the government.

What he doesn't have in material things, he more than makes up for in morals and principles. Oh, and he turned down an 8 million dollar recording contract because he didn't want a corporation telling him what he must say, or wasn't allowed to. His name is Chris, and the name Oliver Anthony was his grandfather's name, he used to honor him.

    He sings in clean double entendre, he says two things at once.
    There are people who abuse the system and misuse programs like food stamps etc., but it is also true that in most poor communities healthy options just don't exist.
    He wishes they would look out for Minors and not just minors on an island somewhere. This could mean he wants them to look out for the workers in mines, but also look out for young folks here and help them, don't just look for them on an island (which I think is implying Politicians that do go and look for them on an island don't intend to help them.)
    And a bunch more, those just stood out to me.

      There's something not right with this guy. People need to see that. He puts a song on the internet and blows up overnight? That doesn't happen unless you have help. Then the next day he's on Joe Rogan? Really? And by the way lost his accent? C'mon. Something is up.

    People claim he's either fat shaming of welfare shaming, but he's (like you rightly stated) calling out abuse of welfare, which is abuse of taxpayer's $$$. You're spot on. Lastly, they say if you favor yellow as a color, that means you're a positive, creative, inquisitive (learner), friendly, and spiritual person.

      70% of unpaid taxes are from the top 1%. Even more absurd is whining about welfare when it's literally a drop in the bucket of fraud.. the corporate welfare is what the problem is. There you get people gambling with others money and when they inevitably drive it into the ground then have the government bail them out, no consequences, and they just move to another corporation. But if you or I did that we'd be declaring bankruptcy and most certainly be investigated (and most definitely never bailed out).
      In fact, welfare is distributed to the states as a block grant. In Mississippi, Brett Favre was petitioning for the college to get a new volleyball gym (his daughter is on the team) so they took $4 million dollars from the welfare grant to pay for it. Then gave him an additional $1 million for "facilitating" and in emails had told his assistant that he needed to conceal the origin of the money
      "Because it would look bad".
      So the money meant for struggling families ($200 a month in food stamps and $200 biweekly for the poorest of the poor) instead was wasted.

      @@jimweir6500 exactly. WIC, child tax credits, all that stuff are from other people paying for it, mostly really wealthy people, because lower income people don't usually need to pay those large sums of income tax, property tax, inheritance tax, and when the taxes aren't enough to cover the bill, they print some more, which makes the dollar worth even less, thereby hurting the same group of people that think they're getting free money from rich people. They aren't, they're making said rich people protect large sums in things like real estate and other things that don't devalue, and downsize their work force. and then you couple that with Blackrock swooping in on people that are about to close on a house with a huge cash offer, and then burdensome zoning restrictions. it's not hard to see why we have shortages. Cause people voting against their interests.

      While I certainly don't mind her commentary, I kind of wish she would have stayed more on the musical point of the song. It's truly a sonic delight outside of the message. There are so many cool, quirky things about his style.

    He had only been recording songs with his cell phone or performing for friends or crowds of like 20 people. Radio WV liked what he was about and helped him record a couple of songs using actual cameras and microphones. That's why it was initially released on radiowv, probably to also reach more people.
