  • When I first came across Oliver Anthony and his music, I was blown away to say the least. He had a whole collection of songs that I could listen to for hours. Oliver resides in Farmville, VA with his 3 dogs and a plot of land he plans on turning into a small farm to raise livestock. We have a whole mess of songs set to release of Oliver for your viewing and listening pleasure, he is truly special and notes his biggest influence as Hank Williams Jr. Oliver wants to give hope to the working class and your average hard working young man who may have lost hope in the grind of trying to get by.

This song and “Clover Cage - In the Moment” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better.

      I admire people who can physically handle working that much. Doesnt it get depressing spending that much time at work and much less time with your child and family? Wouldn’t you like to make the same amount of money but work fewer hours and in turn have more time with you child?
      I know from personal experience that a parent that works 50+ hours a week does not have the time or energy to spend quality time with their spouse and children. I was raised by a father who worked so much that the only time I saw him was at night just before bed. Children would much rather spend actual time with their parents and go on adventures than have all the toys and trendy materials any day. Gifts and staying up with the trends was nice and all, but I craved actual time with my dad. I cherish the times we went camping and when we didn’t have much far more than any of the material items he would buy me.
      Life is too short. Spend time with your loved ones as much as you can. We shouldn’t have to choose between family and work.

      @@GabGotti3 He's actually not doing that at all. It's directed to the politicians in Washington DC. They are the rich men north of Richmond he is referring to. He speaks out against taxation, people living off welfare and the like. That is very anti-socialist. You are thinking that the "rich men" he's speaking about are simply businessmen, and while he does speak about low pay, I think that it something that resonates today because your money does not go as far as it did just a few years ago. The companies keep raising their prices, making more money, putting more people into debt, while at the same time aren't raising wages for their employees to keep up with inflation.

    I was born and raised in a small village in China, but the lyrics of this song powerfully resonate with me. My parents are almost into their 80s now, and they have never had good days in their whole lives - they have endured much pain and struggle even unimaginable to me. Nowadays, the so-called 'elite' (whether in the USA or China) is busy developing big and fancy ideas, leaving the working poor stuck in devastation. Politicians always talk about human rights, but in the meanwhile, they deliberately ignore our basic needs: the right to survive. Our meager earnings are even not enough for the rent and the utility bills.

Read the Bible correctly.. so you do not become guilty of Matthew 7:1-29 [1-6, 13, 21-23], 13:14-15, 15:7-9, 19:16-19, 24:11, Luke 16:15, Acts 5:29, Revelation 3:15-16, 21:8, 22:15 etc. _[i'm from Canada also and have been an NWO indagator for many years and know full well how insane satanic nightmare bad the agenda is that the top kings/rulers of the earth have planned for us and hence why we must come back to the one and only true God/Jesus to heal our lands etc if it is His will]._ @@WexyFlex

      People need to start admitting the real reason this all started going south and it wasn't the last few presidencies. Its our whole generation and it's been the sacred cow of the last 30 years. The marginal tax rate for wealthy people used to be 91% than 70% and now it's 38%. Does anyone really think that trickle down economics worked? Taxing the obscenely wealthy at such a low rate only allowed the wealthy to hoard more wealth and create more billionaires. That means that the purchasing power of normal people keeps going down. The super rich drive up prices of all our necessities from rent to housing. They buy up more real estate in investment properties and keep driving up prices to where normal people can't afford to live. Property tax rates keep going up to benefit the wealthy and squeeze out the middle class and poor. Homelessness is at its highest point in decades while investment properties sit empty. You don't need to be a genius to know that even if your wages go up slightly, if a wealthy person gets way more wealthy, your prices go up. Imagine a farmers market where a billionaire is willing to pay a million dollars for an apple. He's gonna get that apple while everyone else starves, even if the farmer has enough apples to go around.

She lost her parents to communism and moved to the US to get away. She said people would regularly disappear never to be heard from again. But it does make me worry - if it can happen there, it can happen here. Hopefully we muster the courage and wisdom to overcome this threat.

      I'm with you brother. 2 daughters and a wife, single income, and I'm a carpenter. 35 years ago, our parents could make it work, but now, it's week to week with foodshare. We just want to hold to our convictions and serve the Lord with our lives, but it seems to be nearly impossible these days
