Newly released country song ‘Rich Men North of Richmond,’ from unknown artist, instantly becomes right-wing ‘anthem’.
A new country song titled “Rich Men North of Richmond” is taking the right-wing spotlight away from Jason Aldean’s controversial “Try That in a Small Town.”
The song — released by Oliver Anthony, a little-known artist from Farmville, Virginia — has garnered nearly 5 million views on YouTube in just three days, as well as praise from Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“This is the anthem of the forgotten Americans who truly support this nation and unfortunately the world with their hard-earned tax dollars and incredibly hard work,” Greene wrote in a tweet Friday.
The title of the song seemingly refers to politicians in Washington, D.C., who Anthony claims want to suck Americans dry and “have total control.”
With lyrics that tout some of the most common right-wing talking points, it’s no surprise that the song is drumming up support from Republicans.
“‘Cause your dollar ain’t s–t and it’s taxed to no end, ‘cause the rich men north of Richmond,” Anthony sings in the video.
“God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds, taxes ought not to pay for your bags of Fudge Rounds,” Anthony continues, appearing to slam the welfare system.
In just three days, the song quite literally supplanted Aldean’s “Small Town,” when it jumped to No. 1 on the iTunes Country chart, Billboard reports. And the comments on YouTube have been rolling in.
“This is not a song. It’s an anthem for 80+ million Americans who have been smeared, ignored, mocked, slandered, and robbed by their own government,” wrote one listener.
“It’s exactly how all of us are feeling!” said another. “God bless the hard-working, middle-class Americans, and God bless this great country!”
In another video posted to YouTube, Anthony claimed to be “pretty dead center down the aisle on politics,” but then elaborated on the issue of human trafficking, which has often been found at the center of many right-wing conspiracy theories.
“I can’t begin to conceptualize what has to happen to someone in order for them to think that’s OK,” he said. “I think I drew the line on being quiet when I started to see that becoming normalized and I’ll leave that at that.”
The memo has been issued —– ” GET HIM ”
Rolling Stone trashing ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ because it appeals to the Right goes so WRONG

The top comment on youtube about him is this :
Its the “anthem for 80+ million Americans who have been smeared, ignored, mocked, slandered, and robbed by their own government.”
But as a Zerohedge comment says the rich club boys have a larger problem. This is way bigger than just some poor blue collar workers. MUCH BIGGER.
”This no longer about just blue collar workers. Many white collar workers feel exactly the same way because of the inflation and taxes by the Rich Men North of Richmond!”
Do the vaxxed and boostered like this song too?
(Washington and Wall St are the two poles of the mostrous evil force that runs and has ruined America. The media is just presstitutes working for the B3RG*)
the state is the enemy of the people. the media is the voice of the state.
I AM THE SLIME- Frank Zappa
I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed ‘n’ deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin’ out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t got for help…no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That’s right, folks..
Don’t touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livinroom floor
I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go
Zappa was a CIA controlled garbage influencer . Of you don’t know that, you’re too stupid to be commenting on TBP.
Zappa was a genius like Carlin. You, sir, are the moron.
it cant happen here
Are you the moderator?:)
And if a person is smeared by MSM, it is a badge of honour.
I don’t know anyone who’s heard that song. This story is fake.
You’re not trying to ride my coattails, are you?
I don’t know anyone with tails on their coat. Your comment is fake.
Formal dress has been supplanted by polyester fur-covered butt plugs designed to resemble tails, as humanity scurries back down the ladder of civilization, toward its jungle of origin. No worries: the pendulum always returns, as do leaves, after the thaw.
Are you trying to flatter me by copying me? Just for knowlegde, I’m not gay so you can glom on to some other high value/testosteroned TBPer.
I don’t know anybody who’s gay. Your comment is fake.

What is “The Big O”?
ZERO- Hedge ?????
Don’t tell me you’ve never read “Zero Hedge”
Never heard it called the Big O.
Must mean big Zero.
This guy may be legit. Aldean is a fucking fake ass piece of shit who helped orchestrate the phoney Vegas mass shooting. He let them play recorded gunfire over his loudspeakers. That bitch ain’t country.
May Be Legit ???????????????
Watch the video, listen to his other songs, read about him on the article I posted THEN……….
Tell me He AIN’T legit !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fnnnnnnn people anyways
Trade the guitar for a rifle
Blood sucking politicians like Marjorie Taylor Green and others who are retweeting this song are too stupid to realize he is singing about them.
Jamey Johnson showed up and did at least one song with him.
Meet the most dangerous man in the world….. as he reads — Psalms 37 , 12 – thru – 20
New American Standard Bible
The wicked plots against the righteous, And gnashes at him with his teeth.
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 13The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. 14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. 15Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. – Psalms 37-12

There is NO center….,you’re either right or left
Nationalism;seeks to change a country’s mores and values
Patriotism;seeks to PRESERVE a country’s mores and values……
Which are you?……..I am a Patriot!….
You either believe in this countries founding ideals or you DONT!…..
Therefore no center….center is apathy!
This is exactly what we need. Inspiration for organization.
The media is owned by the same banking cabal that owns our government…the little hats are your masters.
