I’ve been thinking a lot about this song. And it is a real feeling that people have.

But it is also just whining.

The way he goes from talking about people without anything to eat and then talks about how someone that poor and fat shouldn’t eat a fudge round just seems to be a confused message.

Is big government the problem? Or is it lack of corporate regulations that then allow big companies to pay people less than what they need to survive.

Washington can do things to fix what he is talking about, but I would be shocked if he is interested in any policy that helps poor people or people drowning in student or medical debt.

It's the worst of both worlds. They regulate away our right to unionize and strike.

What a great point. The regulations that are “acceptable “ are all about protecting the corporations.

And so is the corporate music machine that markets this excuse for a protest song, it's just another culture war debate masquerading as politics.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
