  • When I first came across Oliver Anthony and his music, I was blown away to say the least. He had a whole collection of songs that I could listen to for hours. Oliver resides in Farmville, VA with his 3 dogs and a plot of land he plans on turning into a small farm to raise livestock. We have a whole mess of songs set to release of Oliver for your viewing and listening pleasure, he is truly special and notes his biggest influence as Hank Williams Jr. Oliver wants to give hope to the working class and your average hard working young man who may have lost hope in the grind of trying to get by.

    42 year old Filipino American here. This one hits hard. I’m a blue collar worker making more money than my parents ever did but found myself looking for a 2nd job just so my family can live comfortably. Most of us don’t have a voice. Thank you so much for saying what we’re all thinking. We have no choice. As much as I’ll hate working all day and night, I love my children way more.

      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.

      People need to start admitting the real reason this all started going south and it wasn't the last few presidencies. Its our whole generation and it's been the sacred cow of the last 30 years. The marginal tax rate for wealthy people used to be 91% than 70% and now it's 38%. Does anyone really think that trickle down economics worked? Taxing the obscenely wealthy at such a low rate only allowed the wealthy to hoard more wealth and create more billionaires. That means that the purchasing power of normal people keeps going down. The super rich drive up prices of all our necessities from rent to housing. They buy up more real estate in investment properties and keep driving up prices to where normal people can't afford to live. Property tax rates keep going up to benefit the wealthy and squeeze out the middle class and poor. Homelessness is at its highest point in decades while investment properties sit empty. You don't need to be a genius to know that even if your wages go up slightly, if a wealthy person gets way more wealthy, your prices go up. Imagine a farmers market where a billionaire is willing to pay a million dollars for an apple. He's gonna get that apple while everyone else starves, even if the farmer has enough apples to go around.

      Your withholding taxes are based solely on your gross pay and so are your real taxes owed calculated when you file. It is a myth that overtime is taxed at a higher rate than regular hourly. Your employer doesnt even report how much overtime you get to the irs. They dont care how you got it. Hourly, overtime, salary, commissions, bonuses it all gets taxed the same and is only based on the gross taxable income.

      @@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 am 24 years old working 3 jobs everyday, yet can't afford to leave my parents household. I call everyday for better jobs, I pray to God for strength, and just when I am about to get ahead the government comes to punish me for being poor.
      I am too rich for section 8, yet too poor to get a studio apartment. This country is the best in the world but it hates like no other.

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.

    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.
