You're dumb. Voters put them there, and the vast majority of the voters are not "at the top." You should learn something an econ professor taught me decades ago. Who are the rich? The people that earn $5k a year more than you.


You should learn to keep your mouth shut and we only think you’re a dumbass. Open your mouth we know you’re a dumbass.

If you think the guy down the street with the boat is the problem then anything you contribute is heavily discounted.

Heard this song today, finally. It is good. “Rich men”, doesn’t mean you nor me. He is strictly talking about politicians in D.C. especially the ones that have been in office for multiple terms, and are only worried about themselves.

while I agree with the sentiment that’s some of the worst writing I’ve ever read, Fr33 is better than that

cant wait to hear what insane ideas the left come us up with to link this song to "white supremacy" and "Qanon".

Anyone who doesn’t support the machine is considered alt-right racists. The lyrics of this song being construed as “right-wing” is everything that’s wrong with todays democrats.

Not really sure how bad of an insult that is...



But aside from rhyming a word with the exact same word (a cardinal sin), it's got a lot of truth in it and his voice and passion add a lot of quality.

Could he have been more subtle in places? Sure.

But it's got over 8 million views on YT, so obviously it struck a chord. It's the man's song and I'm not gonna knock it for nitpicking.

This is actually a good song, too. The Aldean song was just terrible.

Yeah, it was to convey a message, not create a masterpiece.

Every woke liberal on this forum became Johnny Fogerty 5 days ago. This song was never meant to be Bohemian Rhapsody. It’s a song for the people who’ve been shite on and lied to religiously over the past few years by a bunch of fig gots in Washington DC. This guy cleverly, soulfully nailed it.

Why are we saying "overnight sensation" guy has been around for a while and this song wasn't cut last week. He's sang it since last summer at fairs and festivals. He does other great folk songs types too.
