You cannot help but hear the authenticity of Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” as a cry for help from average Americans.
It has a Woody Guthrie tone. It speaks to the angst of Middle America and of the hardworking people who built this country, fought our wars, fix our cars, pay taxes, etc.
Both songs, Aldean’s and Anthony’s, are protests from the proletariat against what has been done to them by the permanent elite in Washington D.C. and the lobbyist-driven business oligarchs who want control. It is why Washington was so unnerved by the January 6th protests. They knew they had to protect their “honey hole.”
Most Americans support helping the truly needy. They donate less now because they feel government is taking care of “the poor.” But they miss that good feeling of doing for others through charity. About once a year for the last four years in Atlanta, I donate $500, my watch, wallet and iPhone to a poor person in the street. It gives me a “good feeling” to see him put that 9-millimeter gun back in his pocket, hoist up his pants and walk off.
Anthony points out that the path to wealth of the ruling class slithers through D.C. and is at the expense of the working class. He hints of the dystopia predicted in the books “1984,” “Atlas Shrugged,” and “The Hunger Games.” All the while, under Biden homelessness is up a record 11%, inflation is up 16% and wages are down. This is a recipe for upheaval by those whose voices have been muted by big tech Washington and corporate media censors.
