    “welfare queens”

    Where are you quoting this from? You aren’t quoting it from the song, because he didn’t say it. It’s you quoting some left wing talking point.

    Look at the lines, he says there are people dying of starvation, because the welfare we’re supposed to receive is being misallocated. Have you ever been to the rural south?

    That family getting $400 a month in food stamps is not the reason everything sucks right now.

    Yeah, we all know that. And he didn’t blame them.

      “Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat And the obese milkin’ welfare”

      Misremembered the line but regardless, still sure sounds like he’s blaming them.

        The song title is ‘Rich men north of Richland’ - it’s about how the politicians are fucking up America - both inner city and rural America.

        That is the underlying theme for the song, so him saying people are starving while there are some milking the system doesn’t make sense. Increase welfare, or fix it, help those that need it.

        Trust me, I really really wish he didn’t have that line, because he talks about so many bigger issues that the left agrees with, but now they can just discredit this redneck hillbilly as being an alt right industry plant. But i feel even if that line wasn’t in the song, that y’all would bitch about him calling out epstein and just say he’s a Qanon freak.

          Yeah but that’s stupid. The people who talk like this guy and the people who relate to the song constantly vote against their own interests. Got people living in trailer parks wanting to cut taxes on billionaires.
