We work hard, we pay our taxes and fight in their Wars and what have we got but shattered dreams and broken homes. Even then it is not enough to feed their greed. They piss on our beliefs and our heritage. They plunder our nation and despoil our people. They want nothing but our complete and utter submission and even then that will not be enough to satisfy them. They want us to be little more than cattle and our young ones to be their playthings.

It’s not just the bite the take before you get your paycheck it’s the bite they get every time you buy something with that already taxed money from your paycheck then if you happen to save something and happen to pass away then that money gets taxed again when your loved ones get it. And to where? Where does it go??? To the rich men north of Richmond!!!

Oh it has blown up!

He's an actual off-the-grid farmer in Virginia living on a 90-acre farm. I just bought it on iTunes. Let's make it number 1.

I love this as an anthem for hard working blue collar men. My husband and I got married young, (19, 21). My husband decided he wanted to work in the oilfields to get a skilled trade. He got a job in the desert in the middle of nowhere. I didn't want to be without him so we went together with our baby. He worked like a dog, 90 hours a weak maintaining oil tankers, worked his way up, but it was a rough few years. It was very isolated, we lived in a camper, spotty electricity, no wifi, no laundry facilities, I washed clothes in a barrel like we were out on the prairie, but we made it, listening to this song makes me think about my husband stumbling home absolutely exhausted from a days work, covered in fuel, and just needing a hug. He would hold our baby and I would hold him and he would just sleep. That line about kicking men down hit me so hard 😢 I made damn sure my husband didn't have to do anything when he got home, but I was the only woman on the yard, most wives were far away in the houses these men paid for. Brutal lives and then rich academics and politicians pontificate on the evils of men and it infuriates me.

Nah man he said "I wish politicians would look out for miners, not just minors on an island somewhere." It was a double meaning. Like if they were as interested in the wellbeing of the working man as they are about diddling kids.

I'm so moved by this song. Amazing lyrics amazing voice. God help American!!!

All country music is story telling and just taking you into a country person's everyday life and the struggles we have to go through because the rich men north of Richmond don't care bout us except when it's time to go to war or when its time to vote.

Then came across your channel. Glad you liked it & shared it. He'll blow up for sure. Maybe a few days, few weeks...who knows. But he's got plenty of other songs that are pretty good as well.

In the late 1970's, there was a song that connected with the plight of the working man at the time called "Take This Job And Shove It". This song feels like an even deeper, more raw version of that song. So powerful.

Wooo Chris Stapleton watch out for this one!

When the world needed Wild Stalions, Oliver Anthony answered the call.

God bless you Anthony thank's for speaking for America stay humble 🙏 buddy

This song is saying what all of us Americans have been feeling. While those rich men North of Richmond keep fighting over foreign wars, illegal immigration, pronouns, DEI, and other BULLSHIT, we are carrying the weight of the responsibility. That is OUR hard-earned money going to fund Rich Men north of Richmond pockets. Revolution is needed and coming to save this once great nation. We the People are crying out ...but the tears will soon stop. This song reflects the SOUL of our nation, and those men North of Richmond don't relate because their souls are already gone.

As a West Virginian it reminds me of “Sellin my soul to the company store” (that too is a song) back when mining companies paid their people in a manner that only allowed them to buy from their company store. Inturn taking the money they paid out, right back….

As another old soul, his words are gut-wrenching!!

Love it, from UK.
