Oliver Anthony, a Farmville musician, has racked up 1.8 million views on YouTube for his song, “Rich Men North of Richmond.” He lives with his three dogs on a plot of land he hopes to turn into a small livestock farm. If you want to understand the “deplorables” and “bitter clingers,” don’t listen to the affluent, credentialed talking heads on MSNBC. They don’t have the faintest clue. Spend three minutes listening to Anthony — an authentic voice of the working people.
“These rich men north of Richmond / Lord knows they all just want to have total control / Wanna know what you think / Wanna know what you do / And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do/ Cause your dollar ain’t s***, and it’s taxed to no end / ‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond.”
