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.

Having much of my family being republican, I think you are leaving out an important piece of the puzzle - fear.

Republicans are terrified all the time. Fear of the other, fear that how they grew up and the people they know are being called wrong for what they think and say. It manifests through anger.

If they can knock you down then you are weak and wrong and they are justified in doing it.
