This is blowing up on YouTube right now. Probably because of how true it is.

He's right though, the song is basically saying "life is hard for conservative cishet white men because of the got dang politicians taxing us", and that's a fundamentally reactionary view of the world.

If you want recommendations for good, actually working class country songs, might I recommend Woodie Guthrie? Or Peggy Seeger? They're a little more on the folk side, but they're really good.

I lean about as far left as you can go and the song resonates with me. I thought the song was a little deeper, talking about how the rich men (I'm assuming politicians) aren't looking out for people. I feel like saying the song is only about taxes is taking a lot away from it. He talks on important issues like homelessness, male suicide rates, and that no one pays a living wage.

Thoughts on Ukraine?

I fully support Ukraine.

Edit: Also, any thoughts on why everyone from hexabear so confrontational ?

Simply pointing out that the song you've posted is based on nonsense is not "confrontational"
