OLIVER ANTHONY "RICH MEN NORTH OF RICHMOND" | REACTION 

This song supercedes politics and that is one of the things that makes it so amazing. The working class people are struggling and the politicians from both parties are responsible for it. We all feel what this man is singing. Times are tough and we must stick together if we are going to come out on the other side of this situation.

Wow we are totally opposite politically but what we both know is anyone in power is corrupt as fuck. The song brought us together great reaction.

Good old Appalachian folk music! Sung straight from the soul, right into your own soul! We're sick & FED UP with killing ourselves every day just to barely get by. They've programmed us to believe that they know best and somehow we deserve less than they do!? Oliver gave us a beautiful call to action. Now its up to us to keep it going! Cling to each other & lift one another up! They want us to believe that we're divided & against each other. I have hope for a better tomorrow again, if we can just remember that we really are in this TOGETHER. Good luck & sincerely, much love and respect to each and every one of you ❤

He turned down 8 million recently - he didn't want this spotlight of #1 on iTunes but he's gonna do a lot of good now. Chris is a humble real dude.

This whole crooked system needs to collapse.

I am liking everyone that covers this song and I’ve watched over 50 reactions in 2 days. It’s amazing to see. God helped Oliver spread this message we all needed. It’s giving me hope for humanity. Politicians and msm have divided us. We are the 99% and we all bleed red. God bless y’all from Kentucky.

Man drops some truth nukes.

And the moooaaannn of that Dobro he’s playing, sounds 🔥🔥🔥 with his angelic voice.💕

Hey don't come to me about any politicians .. I don't care for any, from Biden to Obama to Trump. I'm on the side of the WORKING AMERICAN. I'm gonna always be honest on every reaction I do. I don't pander on this channel. I can't get behind anyone that tells me not to like another American because he doesn't share my political views and they all do that ,Dems & Reps alike. but everyone's not me. Yall be blessed.

Im for damn sure one them old souls. This man hit most every thought of us barely gettin by in his song.

This song hits many people in a spot they have forgotten they have. This song is calling for people to wake up.

It brings me untold joy to see people waking up to the fact that the government prioritizes corporations over the working class. It's time we did something about it. Great reaction. 🍻

Trump actually cares about americans... Trump 2024

Sir, I absolutely love your reaction! I love your light bulb moment when you realized that "rich men north of Richmond" .... was Washington, D.C! Epic! Thank you so much! Going back for more....lol.

He turned down an 8 million dollar contract with the music industry

This is the Anthem of the World.

Apparently he just turned down a lucrative record deal. Glad you didn’t sleep through geography class. Great reaction

He has turned down all the record deals. He said he wants to stay independent and doesn't want to be controlled by a label.

I know trump doesn’t know what it’s like to be poor, but he is a friend to the working class people and doesn’t despise them. If i have to choose, I’ll take that. 🇺🇸

Now THATS a reaction, love it! He turned down an 8m offer, he isn’t interested.

His voice is resonating around the world it's number 1 on iTunes in the UK His voice is amazing and he's correct the politicians are getting richer and the poor are definitely getting poorer not just in America it's happening all over the world 🌎 👍🏻😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Resonating & Powerful Song .

Yes, all them Rich Men North of Richmond are corrupt. The singer gets it. You get it. We get it.

My dude Oliver was just makin recordings on his phone before this song. If you want to check out Oliver Anthony- Ain't Got a Dollar.

Im 44 white man and he is singing from the soul for all us we are all children of God in this fight together love will change the world

He is referring to obese people who are getting government assistance buying unhealthy foods like sugar filled foods instead of healthy foods. And, there are a lot of people of all colors milking the welfare system. Just plum lazy and don't want to work. A couple of years ago I was working at drug rehab place. There was a woman there who was pregnant and her social worker made arrangements to get her a paid work training to go into full-time work. She refused it, said once she had this fifth child and get the extra check from the government, she would be able to buy her a small house. I personally know people who don't want to work and don't look for work to get welfare. They say the only jobs they would take are management or supervisor work that pays top dollar. In the real world, it don't work that way. Now about Trump. When he first announced he was running for President, I was like oh heck no, he is just another rich guy and wouldn't do anything for the middleclass. However, as I listened to him and what he was going to do, I decided to give him a chance so he got my vote. He exceeded my expectations. He did more to help the working class, especially black inner city people than any other President we had. He kept his words. All of the Democrats and over half of the Republicans hate him because he keeps his word and calls out their corruption and bullshit. I plan to vote for him again in jail or not. Enjoyed your reaction.

Good honest perspective. I'd never thought about what it would be like to be in small rural town, miles from any jobs. And you're right about Trump or Biden. The elites "left and right" were together partying on island somewhere

Preach it! A great message to the American people just like this one: "However political parties may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." George Washington Farewell Address | Saturday, September 17, 1796

Amen Brother! You just perfectly explained the downward cycle of this country. Most folks don''t wanna be on welfare or assistance. Most people have pride and wanna be on there own. Don't wanna rely on the Government for their shit. But If there ain't no jobs you gotta drive outside your town and if you ain't got no car how you gonna do that? And if you ain't got no job how you gonna get a car? Lord, It's A Damn Shame

Baby…I’ll take Donald J Trump ANY DAMN DAY over another Democrat EVER. Day in my life. And that’s coming from someone that voted Democrat all my life

I have to correct you on that one. Corporations back in the 50s and 60s like now, paid nothing. Yes they had a 90% tax rate after world war two, but none of them actually paid it. They had tax loop holes the same as now, which allowed them to pay nothing. Two things made workers wealthy back then. World war two destroyed all competing companies around the globe. And only men were working. So companies had no choice but to pay you whatever you demanded, because there wasn't enough workers to fill all the positions. When women joined the workforce it undercut your ability to demand more, because they had a surplus of workers to uncut your pay. Much like illegals crossing the southern border, women work for less money.

He is pouring out his for all of us to feel. It's beautifully tragic. ❤❤

Love your reactions. This is a badass song. They should play it at polling places during elections. Glad to see a fellow Mississippian doing something cool. Keep it up Boshido.

The news say we have nothing in common and we hate each other's race but you can watch literally hundreds of reactions and see we're the same and have no hate for each other. We got different mothers but we all have the same FATHER!! we are all brothers and sisters!! Once we stand together the richmen north of Richmond will disappear. I love y'all. The Bible says " if you can't love your brother in which you see how do you love me in which you can't see " that's not word for word but it's close. Even tho you just put down trump and he's by far the. Best president for the ppl in our lifetime and i 100% support him because out of everyone else he's the one who put America and Americans first but just cause you don't like him don't mean i don't love and respect your opinion. But God bless everyone. Just know that everyone is a shade of brown literally everyone some are just darker and some are lighter but all in the brown spectrum. Also we are all children of God so that makes us a special type of family

He turned down an 8 million deal. He doesn't want to be a full-time musician.

You're damn right! That's how things have gone. Time for some working class unity. Time for a big change, sir.

Both of y'all spoke FACTS 🔥🔥🔥

This man TURNED DOWN AN $8 MILLION DOLLAR RECORD DEAL! He doesn’t want anyone controlling his music and his voice.

Thanks for the content brother! Cable no radio, don’t want them don’t need them.Great Song. I didn’t agree with everything you had to say either, but, if you’re able to keep it 100 with me, i’ll take your how I find you. People like me can be brothers with people like you!

It is so amazing that this song is speaking loud and clear to all the working class folks all over this country and all around the world. Great reaction.

Thanks for video so many emotions...crying at lyrics and laughing at the commentary. Keep up the great content!

Happy to see another reactor pick up all of the references! I’ve watched a ton of these and only about half get that middle part of the song. Great reaction bro

You made me smile when you stopped to light up 😆 Great reaction. You have a new subscriber!

He’s already turned down an 8 million dollar deal, said he doesn’t want the fame, just wants to live a simple life that’s a bit easier than what those rich men north of Richmond want us to have🥹❤️

❤Thank you Oliver Anthony ❤

The worst was I was in a grocery store and I have friends that are immigrants. there was this one lady an immigrant with 6 freaking kids using the food stamps.

I had to be on it when my son was born but it was so humiliating. He's referring to the ones that are capable and don't want to work.

Your reaction action was real and true, thanks for that! It's great to see all people with Souls young and old get this message American and none American alike. That's powerful! All the best.

Gotta give up thinking blue vs red. It's always been the working class vs the ruling class.

That's his first song with a good microphone, he was just using his iphone before And just turned down an 8 million $ record deal

I drive 2hrs on a good morning in traffic up 95 right into the swamp this man is talking about for work. sometimes traffic is so bad its 3HR commute. js. all day everyday in to the swamp

It's Appalachain Mountain folk not country music. He's from small town Farmville VA playing a resonator guitar. I'm a Gen X U.S. Navy vet I feel and see everything he's singing about for the whole world not just here.

Here's what I think, United, we stand, divided, we fall, so I love you all, and I subbed. Hello from next door, Bama!

In 2018 my husband and I went to Clarksdale because I wanted to go to the Delta blues Museum and the first thing I noticed was all the houses that needed repair and yet no hardware store for them to be able to buy supplies to repair them, and not many jobs. we went to redz blues club and met the nicest people

Spot on

Awesome reaction! I hope this song helps bring back real country music.

Great breakdown / reaction! This is as powerful a song as there has ever been, and his voice, lyrics & message are amazing and universal. If your a person with a pulse, this song is gonna resonate. I know it did me, felt it in my bones. Btw, found this latest interview/formal intro he gave (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h3tQ5Pz0fUI.html) #OliverAnthonyMusic

Dude its black and white. We all feel like were pressed.

Love this reaction!

Love it!!!

I can honestly say, this is the realest reaction I've seen to this. It fills my heart with joy to see my brothers and sisters all over this world understand this isn't about race or left or right it's about politicians who have been fucking us all over since the dawn of time. And the universe gave us this man to help open our eyes and let us know we are not alone, lots of us feel this and we've about had enough of it.

This fkn dude is straight 🔥

You are almost on point God bless brother

Much love from Ocean Springs! 🇺🇸

He’s calling out the lack of healthy food options for the poor.

The record companies already offered him a 8 million dollar deal and he said no thanks

Chief approved!!! 🇺🇸

Peace & ❤ from Connecticut.

Fukn legend🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Lmao light it up!

He said he had been going through depression & thinking about how life is and decided to write this song & posted it. A town DJ saw it and asked to video him & it went viral. He speaks for everyone just trying to get by.

You're a beautiful soul. Thanks for this reaction.

Protect this man.

We all prospered under Trump. Border was secure and our national defense was second to none. You can pretend we didn't, but do some research.

Olive Anthony has a RU-vid channel with lots of music. I really enjoyed your reaction video and you have a new subscriber. Now I'm going to go through your old videos. God bless

I live in the mountains in North east Tennessee and I drive 20 miles one way to get to work it take me 45 minutes.

I remember when I was about 11, driving with the fam, cross country. A gas station, before the swamps in Florida. 32 cents a gallon. My parents bought a house, on Bellaire Blvd, one of the most important streets in Houston 4 bedroom, master bedroom, with attach garage apartment. 1/3 acre lot. 29k . Almost every problem in America, is tax related, including social problems. No marriages, high divorce, streets raising our kids, low birth rate, mental psychological problems, lack of God church morals responsibility accountability patriotism, distrust of government, u name it. This guy is dead on! Amazing a voice and writer out there, just hidden, like this. In case u haven't heard, this guy was a nobody Farmer. Sang in his backyard, to his dogs. And wrote and sang this old school government protest song. It's now been listened to worldwide, in a few days, more than any other song in history. And he's been streamed on Twitter and Spotify, and got multiple record deals pending, and John Rich wants to handle everything for him. A former alcoholic drug addict just not too long ago , and a non God believer. Told God on his knees, u get me sober, I'll change my whole life, in 30 days. Here u go! Just on sharing, he's got 3 top ten songs, at the same time. God being God!! So how is common sense, and telling u what government does to us, a 'right wing' anthem?

U my brother are so true.

#truth

100% agree with the MS part been there done that now I own my own business and plan on opening more businesses for that exact reason 💪🏼

You so right

you got it thanks

I've been watching all the reactants from this song we're All in This together black white or indifferent.

You're right

Spread the Message on ❤❤

You're speaking truth, brother. Life is hard being broke.

The man is preaching ♥ This is International Working Man anthem ♥ Love from the UK ♥

He is not talking about the people who need welfare, hes talking about people abusing the system.

Real

You are my favorite reaction 💯 truth

Your reaction was priceless

Inflation is another TAX, Gas, groceries, electricity and N.G.

He doesn't want a record deal he doesn't want to be corrupt like what he's telling you about he wants you to wake up and change the situation in our government and with the rich and All the power over the people American people
