I think your anger is on the money. But I also think you’re directing it at the wrong people.
“These rich men north of Richmond Lord knows they all just wanna have total control …‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit and it’s taxed to no end” is fair enough. But you lose me when you sing:Well, god, if you’re five foot three, and three hundred pounds,You can be mad about the taxes that Washington is scraping off the top of your paycheck, but are the rich men north of Richmond really the chief culprits here? Think about it. You’re blowing up on Spotify right now.
And here’s the thing, man. This is what I really want to stress. I think that a lot of these rich guys want you to be mad, but they want you to focus that anger on your taxes and the people using food stamps to buy treats. It’s a distraction. They know they can’t erase your totally justified rage at not being able to make a livable wage.
Look. I know not everyone who buys sugary treats with food stamps is trying to do something nice for their mom. But, you know, why shouldn’t people who are poor—just a little bit poorer than you—have a treat every now and then? Who are we to decide whether or not they deserve it? Where is it written that being poor means you should never be able to have something nice, ever? Lots of poor people work really hard and deserve to reward themselves with something good.
Here’s what it comes down to, man. I’m just worried that with this song, you’re carrying water for some extremely rich cretins who don’t deserve you. They don’t care if you live or die as long as they can make money off your work. I’m also worried that you’re making enemies out of people who you could actually be standing with in solidarity, fighting alongside them for their rights to make a livable wage.
