Long story short, There's this hit song by Oliver Anthony called "Rich men North of Richmond" which sparked huge discussion and controversy

I stumbled upon this while listening to the all-in podcast and the discussions on this topic were quite interesting, especially Chamath's point of view.

Hence I thought I would bring this to the crowd of HN and spark another discussion where people can chime in their views and opinions


I skimmed through that podcast and it's interesting but I don't think Oliver's message will connect with a majority here. He has a great voice and puts a lot of emotion into his music, something sorely missing from most music of recent times, so people will resonate with the emotion but I think many will fail to connect. If anything the ratio of white to blue collar workers here would probably make it hard to have a serious discussion. I have found that many here are pro-high-taxation. I could be entirely wrong but I think it would spiral downhill fast and end up being flagged. That is just my opinion however.
