Washington DC has become a giant capitol of bribes and many western governments are suffering from the same ills . nobody was prosecuted for Epstein's island - it says it all . Current president of the USA is a long time crook ,he does not work for us but only for himself and his cronies he is surrounded by the web of criminals and enablers .Criminals will not prosecute themselves , it is time for GENERAL STRIKE and mass incarcerations of corrupt politicians and their cronies in medias , half of DC should be in jail .

42, wife, 2 kids, working since 96’, blue collar through and through. This song gives voice to the quietly desperate, a synthesis of our blood sweat and tears, it’s a composition of our dirty hands, depleted accounts and the disconnect of the overlords.
182 million views in a year! Congratulations Mr Chris! This song resonates with not only Americans but all working class folks around the world. Most folks work their tail off and still can't keep head above water and your song explains that perfectly. Your song seemed to be on the collective tip of everyones tongue and you put it all together and said what most of the world was thinking at the time. God Bless you Chris! And God Bless all the hard working folks struggling to take care of their families! 🙏

God sent us his son to lead us against the evil and fight the spiritual war humanity was in. 2023 years later, God sent us this man for the same reason. I truly believe Rich men north of Richmond is our battle cry. It is meant to bring us together. To give us strength to fight this war that only their side is fighting. Are you ready? It will take all of us to defeat the devil and his cabal and the committee of 300 who serve them.

@@georgeetter7558 I re-read this today. And was recently reminded by a Romanian friend of mine who lived in a communist country for the first 24 years of her life. She lost her parents to communism and moved to the US to get away. She said people would regularly disappear never to be heard from again. But it does make me worry - if it can happen there, it can happen here. Hopefully we muster the courage and wisdom to overcome this threat. I believe our nation is at risk of falling apart, just like Soviet Union did in 1989. These are dark days, and hopefully we emerge victorious, but it is far from guaranteed and unless people actually DO something, we will lose.
I (as in we the people) dictate to this government, this government does Not dictate to us. And that's where the first and second act in chorus... I say whatever to whomever I please so long as I don't yell fire in a library. No 2nd, and you better watch that mouth.
This song is USA's National Anthem today; The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem, but Rich Men North of Richmond is the people's anthem now. SUPERB. God Bless Oliver Anthony. Lord protect him. KEEP writing and singing son of God.
This can be the new national anthem, and we need a different flag and, most of all, different leadership. There's nothing more anti-American than America, and it's been a plutocratic mess from the very beginning, unfortunately. The flag is based on that of the East India trading company.
@@skidaddleskidoodle595 I did a search and found "The origins of the (our) flag's design are unclear. It closely resembles the British East India Company flag of the same era, and an argument holds that the BEIC flag indeed inspired the design. The BEIC flag could have from 9 to 15 stripes, however, and was not allowed to be flown outside the Indian Ocean". And most Americans think it's just fine.

unfortunately, those systems need to be torn down. It's like trying to paint an outhouse so that it doesn't stink anymore. We need to shitcan the entire thing, all the people, and start locally controlling our own stuff. For instance, in California where I live, every city and county has to abide by ridiculous shit that is legislated at the State level. We have to make more housing in a place with water and housing issues for people who will never be able to afford to live here. It's out of control. It has to stop.

I was born and raised in a small village in China, but the lyrics of this song powerfully resonate with me. My parents are almost into their 80s now, and they have never had good days in their whole lives - they have endured much pain and struggle even unimaginable to me. Nowadays, the so-called 'elite' (whether in the USA or China) is busy developing big and fancy ideas, leaving the working poor stuck in devastation. Politicians always talk about human rights, but in the meanwhile, they deliberately ignore our basic needs: the right to survive. Our meager earnings are even not enough for the rent and the utility bills.
this song resonates with all the people who are sick and tired of how things are so screwed up in our modern world. the people of China will be put through hell again if the fat emperor decided to invade Taiwan.
Are you still in China? I was under the impression that you cannot see things like this on your internet connection. Regardless, after reading through comments it is phenomenal to see this man's music touch every corner of the 🌎.

They call themselves patriots (Republicans), but ironically this is a pretty anarchic and liberal song , only conservative value mentioned is wanting less taxes, the left is the side pushing for increased pay and wants ceos to make less and share with the workers
It is Dec 9, 2024 and, yes, I am still listening to this song, but for me it is for an entirely different reason. Who else walked through the the darkest tunnel these last few years, but now sees and is engulfed by the brightest, "fight, fight, fight" light?
That's not what the songs about.... maybe you should mention black water and the Heritage Foundation that owns Trump that's what's going on are you rich? That's what the song is about are you rich?

Amen, time for workers to stand up and unionize. The rich have walked on us and distributed wealth from our pockets for too long. Time to take our country back like our grandparents did, staring down the barrel of corporate guns. Standardizing the 40 hour work week and livable wages. We need to fight again!

Not really. I'm working class. I live in the midwest. I voted for Trump the first time around. I'm pro free speech, totally against woke. I think the family structure is the basis of civil society and am probably more socially conservative than most of you. I can tell you that nobody in fly over country is complaining about the welfare benefits they may need in a failed economic system where wages adjusted for inflation have stagnated for 4 straight decades. This video is GOP astroturf. They want to steer working class social conservatives back on to the Reaganomics plantation because it won't threaten their corporate donors. The same reason the Democrats steered their base towards woke social justice wedge issues after Occupy.

Amazing lyricist and performer. I relate to his situations and it hits me like a brick in the teeth. Makes me remember my dark times and gives me strength to not "do it again tomorrow ".
He was on Joe Rogan a few days ago and this was the one thing Joe kept telling him, and one thing he said about his own voice. He admits he doesn't sing like paper says you should. They played some Janice Joplin as an example. Then Joe told him over and over to not change. Don't listen to anybody but genuine people. I like this guy alot. Even hearing him speak in long format he doesn't budge at any point. It's telling how starved of humanity and peace we all are that someone just like ourselves can make a song so simple, and yet, we hold it very highly as it speaks for us.

@@user-rx162r They're the worst but it's not just them, it's the entire establishment, republicans included (there are some exceptions), and the deep state bureaucratic government workers who are in positions of power for decades and decades without anyone voting for them, as presidents come and presidents go, they're still working at the DOD, the CIA, the FBI, and all those other 3 letter agencies.
But if the poor people keep blaming the poor people - nothing will change. The government of the USA should support its poor people. The government of the USA should ensure that rich people pay their wages and pay their taxes - the US has socialism for the rich - it should be ensuring the rich pay their workers that make the billions in profit.

This song gives voice to the quietly desperate, a synthesis of our blood sweat and tears, it’s a composition of our dirty hands, depleted accounts and the disconnect of the overlords.
Wow. Your comment is that of a master. Seriously, this is the most eloquent comment I have read. Very well said, my friend
40, wife , 2 kids , working since 98, blue collar also and your comment sums up perfectly how i feel and have felt my entire working life
Well said

182 million views in a year! Congratulations Mr Chris! This song resonates with not only Americans but all working class folks around the world. Most folks work their tail off and still can't keep head above water and your song explains that perfectly. Your song seemed to be on the collective tip of everyones tongue and you put it all together and said what most of the world was thinking at the time. God Bless you Chris! And God Bless all the hard working folks struggling to take care of their families! 🙏
Yeh because they never pursue a higher education beyond their first career. You need to continue elevating and the people who love this song don’t want to elevate themselves further.

God sent us his son to lead us against the evil and fight the spiritual war humanity was in. 2023 years later, God sent us this man for the same reason. I truly believe Rich men north of Richmond is our battle cry. It is meant to bring us together. To give us strength to fight this war that only their side is fighting. Are you ready? It will take all of us to defeat the devil and his cabal and the committee of 300 who serve them.
Amen brother!!
It brought tears to my eyes too before I could get it under off. What a nerve racking song. That is if you can call it a song. Sounds like it was taken out of a rant at a trump rally

BELIEVE IT BROTHER !@@georgeetter7558
@@georgeetter7558 I re-read this today. And was recently reminded by a Romanian friend of mine who lived in a communist country for the first 24 years of her life. She lost her parents to communism and moved to the US to get away. She said people would regularly disappear never to be heard from again. But it does make me worry - if it can happen there, it can happen here. Hopefully we muster the courage and wisdom to overcome this threat. I believe our nation is at risk of falling apart, just like Soviet Union did in 1989. These are dark days, and hopefully we emerge victorious, but it is far from guaranteed and unless people actually DO something, we will lose.
I (as in we the people) dictate to this government, this government does Not dictate to us.
And that's where the first and second act in chorus... I say whatever to whomever I please so long as I don't yell fire in a library.
No 2nd, and you better watch that mouth.
This song is USA's National Anthem today; The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem, but Rich Men North of Richmond is the people's anthem now. SUPERB. God Bless Oliver Anthony. Lord protect him. KEEP writing and singing son of God.
This might just be the INTERNATIONAL ANTHEM.
Blaming "obese women on welfare" for his laziness? Oliver Anthony is in service of Lord Satan and so are you. Get thee behind me.
This can be the new national anthem, and we need a different flag and, most of all, different leadership. There's nothing more anti-American than America, and it's been a plutocratic mess from the very beginning, unfortunately. The flag is based on that of the East India trading company.
th-cam.com/video/uHL3y_iVK8k/w-d-xo.html
@@skidaddleskidoodle595 I did a search and found "The origins of the (our) flag's design are unclear. It closely resembles the British East India Company flag of the same era, and an argument holds that the BEIC flag indeed inspired the design. The BEIC flag could have from 9 to 15 stripes, however, and was not allowed to be flown outside the Indian Ocean". And most Americans think it's just fine.
FINALLY! REAL COUNTRY MUSIC! God Bless you and your beautiful dogs Oliver Anthony!

unfortunately, those systems need to be torn down. It's like trying to paint an outhouse so that it doesn't stink anymore. We need to shitcan the entire thing, all the people, and start locally controlling our own stuff. For instance, in California where I live, every city and county has to abide by ridiculous shit that is legislated at the State level. We have to make more housing in a place with water and housing issues for people who will never be able to afford to live here. It's out of control. It has to stop.

I was born and raised in a small village in China, but the lyrics of this song powerfully resonate with me. My parents are almost into their 80s now, and they have never had good days in their whole lives - they have endured much pain and struggle even unimaginable to me. Nowadays, the so-called 'elite' (whether in the USA or China) is busy developing big and fancy ideas, leaving the working poor stuck in devastation. Politicians always talk about human rights, but in the meanwhile, they deliberately ignore our basic needs: the right to survive. Our meager earnings are even not enough for the rent and the utility bills.
this song resonates with all the people who are sick and tired of how things are so screwed up in our modern world. the people of China will be put through hell again if the fat emperor decided to invade Taiwan.
Are you still in China? I was under the impression that you cannot see things like this on your internet connection. Regardless, after reading through comments it is phenomenal to see this man's music touch every corner of the 🌎.

We're feeling it in Canada as well.... God bless the American people and all who desire better times 🇨🇦🇺🇲
Stolen elections have consequences!
Not just Americans, I'm from Australia and the government is fucking us here too.
Amen!
The authentic austere Scriptural God/Jesus only blesses a nation if they actually truly repent and return to Him after they have went astray. Read the Bible correctly.. so you do not become guilty of Matthew 7:1-29 [1-6, 13, 21-23], 13:14-15, 15:7-9, 19:16-19, 24:11, Luke 16:15, Acts 5:29, Revelation 3:15-16, 21:8, 22:15 etc. _[i'm from Canada also and have been an NWO indagator for many years and know full well how insane satanic nightmare bad the agenda is that the top kings/rulers of the earth have planned for us and hence why we must come back to the one and only true God/Jesus to heal our lands etc if it is His will]._ @@WexyFlex
It hits not only in America but here in Australia as well!
We too are fighting a tyrannical government hell bent on destroying the middle class working folk.
God bless brother!
It hits everywhere. This is the worlds song. There is only one way we defeat this evil system and that is by all of us coming together and destroying them as one.
Praying for Australia
Hits every western nation where the governments bow to the same master and are trying to replace the White people that built them
Not different in Germany. Guess the Working Class is under Attack World wide.
I know you people have it hard and we're headed there unless we speak up!
I am a 31 year old French Canadian, working a full time job while starting my own company in the forest industry. This song hits me right in the feels. I hope I could start a family.
Same brother I’m 34 and starting a family even making good money right now seems like a far away thing
add me to that boat, the problem is, I have money, i have my own things and I have been hurt by so many women in the past that I am afraid I will never let myself love and be vulnerable again. Its a damn shame
@wyattmckay9363 keep at it. I'm 55 y.o. finally started to make my worth. Unfortunately I had to join a labor union. However.
@@wyattmckay9363 its a damn shame, im your age, veteran, single and broke.basides the money, it feels doubtful to find a women that shares my values and actually wants a family. but we have to keep our heads up! for we will make it, come hell or high water.
We have the Laurentian elites here
It's crazy how a song can convey what millions of people are going through. In a time when we were so divided, this song somehow brought us all together to unite against unfairness. This song and "Clover Cage - Romeo and Juliet" are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know things do get better. We are in this together. I love you ❤
Millions of souls are already singing this with you Oliver. Thank you. We're all in this together, stop letting these rich men drive us apart to keep us all down. Much love to you all from Canada.
Thank you for noticing
The Rich get Richer and the Middle Class and poor get poorer!!!!!!
Oliver I pray for Many more Blessings for you and your family!!!!!!!
@@brendajettjohnson5150omg yes
Anyone working an hourly wage can relate to this song. His words hit home but his voice hits your soul. The People’s Anthem!
Guess which party wants to raise the minimum wadge? It ain’t the trump right.
Guess which party wants to tax us to death, it's not Trump's party.. Trump 2024
I'm salaried and I can relate!
Not really. I'm working class. I live in the midwest. I voted for Trump the first time around. I'm pro free speech, totally against woke. I think the family structure is the basis of civil society and am probably more socially conservative than most of you. I can tell you that nobody in fly over country is complaining about the welfare benefits they may need in a failed economic system where wages adjusted for inflation have stagnated for 4 straight decades.
This video is GOP astroturf. They want to steer working class social conservatives back on to the Reaganomics plantation because it won't threaten their corporate donors. The same reason the Democrats steered their base towards woke social justice wedge issues after Occupy.
@TheBlueMeanie nah, they just wanna fund n@zis to the tune of 150 billion is all
Mr Anthony, I hope you realize the profound impact your words have on our country right now. You’re speaking for the vast majority of us who struggle day to day. Much respect to you for saying what on all our minds. Congrats Mr Anthony on your #1 song on iTunes and Spotify.
yeah fuck those fat people
Sending My Love From Mogadishu, Somalia 🇸🇴 🎶
Strong message for the world! Not just America! Cheers from Canada!
Yes, but you don't go broke for getting sick. Here in the States, that's deemed "socialism."
Keep on truckin' up there
Thoughts and prayers for our dear neighbors up north.
@kennethmoles4643 They don't need thoughts and prayers...they have universal healthcare.
@@Yoseman1 nay --man, thats how they kill folks -- they have a euthanasia hospital thing going for anyone feeling depressed.....like your 13 yr old teenager who they claim is state property .... esp. if s/he wont follow woke pride teachings and so called ''Pride'' hogwash
As a welder and a veteran of the Iraq war , I love watching this song keep gaining millions of views !!! And it will keep growing god willing :)
Thank you for your service sir.
Thank you for your service.
I'm Iraqi, and despite what the US government did to my country, brave men like you did end Saddam's socialist nightmare, things are exactly good in Iraq, but the nightmare is merely a feverish dream now, so I too thank you for your service.
Wherever you go most common people just want to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads, and are generally good people, we're all the same.
brother , I keep the Iraqi children in my eyes and heart everyday , cause I think what if someone invaded my country !!! God bless the Iraqi people
@@HQ4575 Assuming you're actually Iraqi, Saddam was not a socialist. And he was our (US) guy when he slaughtered the entire left wing of his party. It wasn't until he started selling oil in currencies other than US dollars that he became evil here. US corporate interests who own the US govt concocted an entirely fake story to justify stealing your country's resources. You should be ashamed if you are actually an Iraqi.
Here from the UK. I’ve worked homeless and disabled people for 20 years and it’s getting worse and worse. This song struck a chord on so many levels.
This guy is a right-winger. You think right-wingers care about the homeless and disabled? Open a history book. Deluded.
the homeless are farmed, they don't want it to end
@@dr.mantistoboggan4746 Ignorant and untrue.
Iclei eu
Something has got to be done with homelessness and taxes have got to be lowered and leveled out because we are taxed to death and the government don't give a shit if they did they would have already done something about it already screw the DAMN RICH YEP YES SIR OR MAAM.
Talk about my hair rising on my neck!!! This man's heart and soul is his voice... gives a new meaning to the word "unique".
Oliver Anthony, dude, dude, holy s***You hit the nail on the head. My man, that song is awesome. This is what the country needs right now. Your voice, your heart, this is going number one. You're a true Patriot. God bless your brother and may the Lord have a hand on your shoulder.
Dude this is horrible! You kidding me??
@@larkinh1 You a political troll account I'd assume. Which one sent ya, red or blue?
@@blobweird123 lol you got me. I was a little tipsy and getting a laugh out of it. I am completely indifferent to this guy.
God bless this man
@larkinh1 don't even like this type of music, but this is so good
Thousands of miles away, and it still hits home with me here in Serbia, God bless you Oliver and all the hardworking men of USA and the world!
same here in germany... god bless all hard working people
@v God bless you too brother
В России люди тоже все н понимают!❤
🏴 also
Same here in Slovenia!
My son gets up before four every morning to work hard all day. He's only 24 and he's experiencing everything that Oliver is singing. I cry when I read all the comments here from people around the world who feel this pain too. These "rich men" laugh and despise us. I pray we get a change of this lying politics and mainstream shit. Oliver, you touched so many hearts. Take care. Your voice and your songs are a treasure.
God bless him !
Ditto my 23 yr old son. Said to me yesterday: I work so hard, all the time and have nothing to show for it no matter how I hustle. I’ll never own a house, how will I support a family? Why am I doing this? Breaks my heart.
We must clean out the swamp in DC
Please look into the Socialist Workers Party and the The Militant. A party and a paper willing to write about these working class conditions, and help us workers to achieve better conditions.
Love this song
Son, keep making your music!!!!!! This song every word is true, and Hits home, every sentence!!!! Ty, mr. Anthony!!!!! From the mountains of Kentucky.
An Anthem for the whole World - not just the USA. We hear you in Australia brother!
🎉🎉🎉❤
We are in the testing laboratory for the rich here. The metals in our water,food,atmosphere. It's certainly a shame what the world has become.
Mostly US though.
Yay, Im glad yall got this all away in Austraila. This guy is awesome!!! God bless him!!!!
hell yeah, we deffs hear him in Melbourne 🎉🎉
It's an anthem for the world. Thank you Oliver. 🙏🏼
@@Tarmac76 you bet
It's just amazing how people from all walks of life resonate with this song.
Except rich men north of richmond lol
Funny how you said resonate and that’s the type of guitar he’s using it’s called a resonator
I am a rich man in Dallas but hell no I aint no rich politician. I am a man of the people
It's also sad that so many of us relate to this song.

Back to you brother. Lets not meet on the battlefield. We dont need that.
i'am french and this song touched my heart so hard ! we are all in the same mess brought by the same evil people !
Bonjour Maniak. J’écrivais plus tôt sous un short de son compte officiel, qu’énormément de travailleurs occidentaux se reconnaissaient dans ces paroles.

Same here in uk we get work to death and the rich and politicians living comfortably evil bastards they all ab control and nothing else
you have have no clue what you are talking about. Living in France, you have no f****** damned idea of what the real life is in other country. Free education, free health care, you can become every thing you want to be if you really fight for it.. In many other countries you are born looser. Just stop whining and reach for what you dream.
I am italian. This song resonates so much in everyone who's got a soul everywhere on planet Earth. Bless him, thank you.
God bless brother victory coming soon WWG1WGA
From Denmark... I agree ❤ ✌️✌️❤️
It’s not the people who are starting the wars and poverty. It’s these garbage politicians that are banning together to take from all of us!
Much love from the US my Italian friend!
Jesus is king, democrats making this a right wing song but everyone can relate
Another italian here. My dad served in WWII and the pacific. Got shot 7 times and lived through for the freedom of us all and it is being taken away from all of us. I pray Jesus comes soon and you all know him.
The fact that this is number 1 trending on music shows how we really feel as a union.

What says that?
Union of mankind.....= global Brotherhood

no, he’s clearly not. His whole collection is here. He’s just popular bc the majority feels the same way he does. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah and hopefully the 2024 election reflects that. Otherwise we're screwed
Taxes ought not to pay for your bag of fudge rounds I've always been an old soul. This song hit home for me... HARD! IM LOVING THE LYRICS!
That is pure old folk country right there!!!! Amen brother! YOu're saying what we all are thinking!!!!!! Love it!
100% 🎯
Yea buddy. That's real country. Not like that dude wearing earrings playing heavy metal singing about a small town.
@@coastalkev3776They're the same. They didn't do all that was done in big town in a SMALL TOWN. Small towns seem to know each other , look out for each other. Nit in a big town. There was nothing wrong with NOT IN A SMALL TOWN.
Appalachia's Soul is talking to you!
We've found the Anthem of the next rev 0 Lu shun.
@@donwat91 All I'm saying is ' not in a small town ' is not a country song.
My small town is a ' old folk country ' town.
Takes a Virginia man to tell the world the truth and they're all listening. Not the first time. Virginians are proud again! Thank you Chris.
Massachusetts used to produce free thinking intellectuals as well..... now not so much. I'm a Kentuckian by birth....but almost my entire lineage came from Virginia..... circa 1619..... so I can't help but think of y'all as family.
@@Woodrow-l1ba descendant of the Virginia “Dye” clan, and the Kentucky “Rice” clan. You’re family to more than you know.
Why would you throw a state down to divide us… we are all in the same boat, act like it

This is not even about Patriotism really! This is about respect for the common man. Love this song.
Until our ppl realise dem or rep, the two party system is a scam used to divide ppl on race, gender issues while they both agree on sending young men to war in far off places while closing our factories and relocating to poor countries the mean of production while the owners get rich beyond belief & we look at Detroit, flint, Chicago and we are left in a state of decay & under financial burden working our fingers to the bone to survive.
Waste of time waiting on this government of self serving corrupt fascists.
Amazing lyricist and performer. I relate to his situations and it hits me like a brick in the teeth. Makes me remember my dark times and gives me strength to not "do it again tomorrow ".
WOW!!! Listened to this over and over!! You are speaking for millions of Americans ! 🙏God bless you young man!
There are a lot of good Men and Women left here. None of them are Democrats.
Billions of people you mean.......................................................................................
and also for Millions of people all over the dollar dependent world.
So? Then WHAT are these MILLIONS of americans DOING??
For the whole brave new world it seems... going viral here in Europe rn.
Freedom is coming. Matter of time.
Not only does this man have a message he has a kick ass song. Hell yea brother
Nope this song sucks.
It’s simply the algorithm you know how many singer songwriters exist . Their are many of us putting in the work in our craft.
@@DMRCapitalHill the good ones always shine grow up man
@@DMRCapitalHillsorry Bro but you Sound bitter
nope, the racist rednecks turned on him because he said he supports diversity lmao.
The passion behind his voice legit hit me in my soul.
Don’t you ever sell out. Be you. Stand firm.
He was on Joe Rogan a few days ago and this was the one thing Joe kept telling him, and one thing he said about his own voice. He admits he doesn't sing like paper says you should. They played some Janice Joplin as an example. Then Joe told him over and over to not change. Don't listen to anybody but genuine people.
I like this guy alot. Even hearing him speak in long format he doesn't budge at any point. It's telling how starved of humanity and peace we all are that someone just like ourselves can make a song so simple, and yet, we hold it very highly as it speaks for us.
The government is take hour money out lives when want talk about freed of speech they want but us in jail before long the wolves will have go at each there be no one to pay the taxes people live to gather not govern government do give a fair shake or fair play people can settle things with mans law there the trouble the political people break laws daily the boys there locking up that dang capitbelong them as well as anybody the pays there extrotion money year hogs get slaughter pigs get fat
I was on my scrolling mode when I saw your profile and was moved to send a text, hope you don't find it pestering?
I work 61h a week, been doing so for 6 years, and when we look at life it feels like we're traped in time... Thank you man...
I haven't heard a bone chilling original song in what seems like decades. You speak for millions of us. I've been waiting for you Oliver
Another good one is "Darkness" by Nolan Taylor
Best country music song since Garth Brooks sold the soul of country music.
Seriously. I haven't felt this way about a new song in forever, I need to send this to my dad I know he'll love this.
this guy is a spoiled 1%er millionaire too. so sick of this pop country stuff like that chris stapleton douchebag. It's not real country music
“Nose to the Grindstone” Tyler Childers
This is more than a song as it is an Anthem for the Working people struggling under our greedy dirty politicians. Raw, emotional, touching and to the point. Uniting people until the press tries to tear him down. Protect this man as his powerful message is resonating amongst the people which will not sit well with the power hungry people pulling the strings.
democrats.
the progessives not classic liberals@@user-rx162r
@@user-rx162r They're the worst but it's not just them, it's the entire establishment, republicans included (there are some exceptions), and the deep state bureaucratic government workers who are in positions of power for decades and decades without anyone voting for them, as presidents come and presidents go, they're still working at the DOD, the CIA, the FBI, and all those other 3 letter agencies.
But if the poor people keep blaming the poor people - nothing will change. The government of the USA should support its poor people. The government of the USA should ensure that rich people pay their wages and pay their taxes - the US has socialism for the rich - it should be ensuring the rich pay their workers that make the billions in profit.
So true!
This is an awesome song!!!!! Love it!!!!! For all the blue collar workers out there and true proud Americans🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏼🍻
Not even just for blue collar works, but for all that aren’t apart of the “elite”, or ones who can buy them
'Cause low kevel white collar workers are treated soooo much better, right?
And all the workers over the whole wide, modern world. Thanks for this song, it gave me goosebumps all over!
Amen🥁🥁🥁
Please Unionize, the rich are afraid of them for a reason. Shop less unless you need it.
legend has it the whole forest stopped and every creature stood still to feel the energy pouring from this mans heart
A microphone, a camera, and a powerful message…..true talent.
