Everything is and was true, you're slowly waking up to some of it. once fully awake, you'll realize we are far worse off than this song implies. Start looking at things like a criminal and you'll see their true intention, they are not for the people. Remember, government was created to protect our rights, they couldn't be further from this today
It's a surefire mark of stupidity to get angry about taxes. Taxes pay for public school, the ploice, the roads, the street lights, and many more things you use on a daily basis. Get angry about embezzlement and bad use of it, but if you have a shred of intelligence, dont complain about taxes

Brilliant! As a libertarian, I don't get tired of listening to this song
A very accurate song, especially now. I am a Republican Trump supporter, and cannot agree more with this guy The government ie like some power hungry machine constantly running and feeding on power. These people want complete control over us, the citizens. They want to TELL US what we shouldn't do, while they are doing THOSE VERY THINGS!! TRUMP 2022! FBJ&K!!!
Well you start by getting the teachers to brainwash and indoctrinate . It use to be just college , they learned it had to start from K to 3rd grade so you get your woke liberal teachers hired from the woke liberal school boards. And do it quietly at first without the parents knowing you fill your government positions with the same then quietly take away parental rights along with their other rights !!! Look use to be the schools couldn’t give your chid a Tylenol for a headache without parents permission first, now they can put your child on A,D,D meds among other drugs and never inform the parents . These people will never tell you the truth, lie out their butt tell you what you want to hear then stab you in the back. It’s the people that have graduated probably in the last 10 years along with the ones who are 18 that most probably still live at home and are probably going to wind up bankrupting their parents because they want the government to give them things free!!! Because they where never taught it’s not free every working American is the one paying in more ways than just their money being taken . If you took the amount of money that has been given away over just the last two years and put it to housing every single American could have their own house and not pay for it!!! There would be no homeless on the streets!!!
I knew as soon as the first 30 seconds passed I knew that haters were going to be hating in the comments section. The truth always hurts someone...Anyway, I like how Tim Hawkins can sing about some really wrong things but still have a huge smile on his face. Such a positive attitude from my favorite comedian. :P
This song is funny, but if you listen to the lyrics, it's a straight up rebuke against tyrannical government. Tim, I support you in your stand and Yahweh has your back and so do I!
2k dislikes, I didn't know we had that many members of congress! Edit: every time I see a notification for this comment I physically cringe because my political opinions have changed quite drastically and I am quite the leftist nowadays.
When I was in 9th grade, I just thought this was a funny song. But now, being older and becoming a more mature conservative, it's kinda terrifying how accurate this song is...
Just 100 years ago, all these politicians, techies, globalists would have been coated with hot tar and had feathers poured over them and run out of town for their crookedness.
I was shown this as a child and I memorized it and sang it all the time, I didn't know what I was talking about but it was catchy. Now coming back and seeing this again, I am proud of my young self.
linnes16 Abraham Lincoln once said the people of these United States are the true Founders and rulers of the United States not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the man who prevent the Constitution.
The Founders invented "self-government." Unless it's the people running a transparent government it's not Constitutional. President Trump is doing his best to reverse decades of waste, poor management, and socialist indoctrination in our education system ("useful idiots").
Tim, your video is coming back around because people need some of that truth you are spitting in this video! Glad I got to see you back in 2011, you were hilarious!
start of May 2022, I'm hearing the song for the first time and equal parts laughing my ass off and screaming in terror because I've never heard something so accurate presented to me in such a happy fashion before.
Anyone watching this in 2024 thinking this song gets more and more accurate every year?
no kidding 🥲
It’s not comedy, it’s prophesy.
1000% Just like the inflation we are experiencing
Oh, definitely.
Sadly yes
Unlike most politicians this aged like fine wine
Yeah. The government wine tastes like Uncle George's Viediker.

This has gone from comedy to prophecy. 😩

this was created when Obama became president. it wasn't comedy back then either. And it hasn't been since.

Like President Reagan once said " The government isn't the solution to the problem, the government is the problem"..
Reagan was the government. And the government grew under Reagan.
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." - President Reagan
Frank Nuzzo Reagan shrank government by about 5%. One of the many reasons he is considered the greatest president of all time.
