The rich boys north of Richmond—the entire boss class for that matter—want us to be mean and uncivil toward one another. Oliver Anthony gave it to them.
" music video, I heard Anthony's conviction, the sorrow and rage. His transparency and clarity initially rang true to this grown man's poor boy's ears, and I could see why many are praising him for his"working-man's anthem.
Who is this working class hero's audience, when being"5-foot-3 and 300 pounds" while on welfare applies to millions of poor women across America? They're obese because the federally dictated"bulls**t pay" so bemoaned by Anthony forces them onto a pissant monthly allotment of food stamps.
I was a food stamp kid back in the day when food stamps came in a booklet. Nobody would hire my mama with her high school diploma, coming out of 24 years in a violent marriage to a PTSD-riddled Vietnam Vet. Taxpayers fed me and my family during hard times. I then grew up to put back into the system that fed me, the same system that feeds millions of our sisters and brothers right now.
Food stamps are nothing more than Americans investing in Americans. It's called taking care of your own. I don't care if you're thick or thin—I just want you fed. Singer and songwriter Oliver Anthony performs"Rich Men North of Richmond" on his Youtube channel. The singer has topped the charts and garnered high-profile fans for the song.I've seen the women around me battle obesity all my life. It's not because they're lazy or nihilistically self-indulgent, as Anthony implies in his song. It's because they're poor.
