alabama wasnt the only artist in the 80s who made songs for the working class americans who work their asses off for small wages bruce springsteen also wrote songs for the hard working americans these r true lbue american artists who had real talent and wrote their own songs wrote them for and about hard working americans and not the socialist rich and greedy bankers
My family worked the coal mines of WV, that is allways cool to hear in the song. And my bro is a cop too, which was mentioned. I believe that if we ALL work hard together we can pull this country out of the mess its in. GOD BLESS THE USA
For the 13 people on government assistance I would like to implore you to stop wasting my time and tax dollar. Take some time and get a real job where you can take pride in working a 40+ hour work week
This song hits home for me I am a hard working guy who is just getting by and as the song says bringing in the load and then just sending it down the line. We as americans need to step up and say enough with helping all the other countries lets put americans back to work.
I've lived in this country all my life!! Dmanit,..I was born here!!! This song is all about what built our country... We have the freedoms to be who we wanna be,..sisnce I was a youngin' I always believed in this song,..it's message,..it's band,..most of all,..our way of living,...from me and my band,..TheBackstreetband...WE THANK YOU AMERICA!!!!! GOD BLESS THE USA!!!
If americans make it I want to buy it our car co. need to get it starit we want american made made by americans. But We as americans must step up and see that things get done because our Goverment isn't!
I LOVE that they put a mother holding a baby in this video! A lot of people don't realize that being a mom is the toughest, and most rewarding job you can have.
..all of the jobs (besides farmer) that were specifically listed merely require a body to perform some form of manual labor, and are entirely interchangeable with any other body. If you are being paid for "what you do" instead of "what you know", and "what you do" could be done by any warm body for lower costs, you are entirely expendible and ripe for the unemployment line. I really don't understand why people have a hard time comprehending that.
I think you are clearly showing your ignorance! My husband is a diesel mechanic and has spent 6 years logged time in school...Yes we keep track. It is really sad that people speak out of ignorance to gain a sense of worth for themselves. I am taking a guess...but I would say you consider your profession to not be ripe for the unemployment line...or you wouldn't be making such gross generalizations.
only thing i disagree with is the auto workers. bunch of liberal ass holes who get $50 for pushing a button. but this song was writen before that so i guess i can forgive them....
@SpartanB359 You probably know a lot of liberals that work their asses off, and don't realize that they are; conversely, a lot of right-wing Ayn Rand types that push buttons work on Wall-street. Hard work isn't a political ideology. Look at the Northern WI farmers, or the WA-state heavy equipment operators.
All I am saying is this: we all love this country and anyone who works to make do their part to ensure the US stays on top shows it.
This song represents what's truly great about America. I worked in warehousing, it ain't glorious, but I took pride in it. I'd kill to work as a steel mill worker.
it's time to bring back the american worker screw the corporations. screw those who don't want to work screw the illegal immagrant. this nation use to be strong and can be strong again in 2012 vote none of the above. let them know we are tired of b/s and crooked deals
Keep the UNIONS going you all....if we let 'em go....GOOD LUCK....USA pride...or are we turning into China....work for hours for pennies....think of your little ones....Fight hard...or...well work longer hours to make less!!! Union YES!!!
God only knows what everyone in this great land does everyday, Some should really see what Coal miners,steel mill workers, wheat field farmers,police officers, and firefighters do everyday. I know what a few of em do..
This song represents the hard working american,We hard working americans keep this country running not the coporate big shots and I take pride in that!!!!
DAMN proud veteran and West Virginia coal miner. this song tugs on my heart although theres no such thing as 40 hour weeks in these coal fields but i love my job and my contry like all other working folks across this great nation. God Bless America!
I work in the field of substance abuse prevention, teaching kids how to better themselves as people by growing self-esteem and by being drug-free, making it so they will be effective workers. I'm so behind the scenes I'm practically out of the theater!
JohnDeere30201 Stand proud I have been there went from a farm hand /ranch hand to 5 deployments and in the army I will back you I miss being home and back on the farm so bad.. Keep it up I know where your coming from stand strong we all are proud and need you Thank YOU
hell yes if all these lazy fucks would get off there asses and quit drawing welfare and work like everyone else has to maybe this country wouldnt be such a shithole!
@dieselintheblood You are absoloutely correct, people talk down on our government, but add up all that money for welfare, food stamps, medicaid etc...and times that by about 50+ million and do your math see how much the goverment helps people out
@alicianchuck08 yea but remember this country is in billions of dollars of fucking debt and dont tell me that there isnt any jobs out there because i have seen people turn down $9.50 an hour jobs to draw unemployment! its bullshit were trying pay off a huge debt and were also paying for all these lazy fucks who wont go out and get a job or people who have 10 kids and cant take care of them! these reasons are what i am talking about!
@dieselintheblood this is very true there was only one time that we where out of that and even tho i should hate this president for what he did to my people he did do some good and for you dume fucks out there its Jackson hes on the $20 bill look him up now because of other fuck ups and wars we should have never gotten in to where back in to debt and now people like me are busting our asses just trying to survive im working for dirt money just to pay rent some things just piss me off.
@dieselintheblood I'LL GIVE A BIG HELL YEAH TO THAT LIKE CHARLIE DANIELS SAID THIS WORLD NEEDS A FEW MORE REDNECKS GOOD OL GOD FEARIN A** BUSTIN COUNTRY FOLK!!!!
@dieselintheblood Get mad at the politicians whose wars you're paying for and the speculators who broke our economy. Why can't the richest one per cent carry their fair share? Make ol' Muffy and Biff pay their estate taxes and raise their capital gains and income taxes. I won't cry when they have to sell their seventh mansion or private jet. Put your anger where it belongs!
@dieselintheblood It's a straight-up business decision. If unemployment pays more, why take a job that pays less? When a corporation does something like this with subsidies it's called a good business decision. But when an individual does this we call them lazy. Why? Unemployment isn't welfare: It's more closer to Social Security in as it's something that everyone pays into while working. Perhaps if jobs started paying more, or perhaps we reduced the cost of living, things would be different.
@dieselintheblood You got that all right man. Well said. Keep taxing us more. To give it away to MEXICANS AND THIS DAMN WAR THAT SHOULD OF BEEN OVER ON 9/12. If we take somthing from China tax the fuckers like they do others. All we do is give give and get stuck in the ass. I see what is going on. government wanting people to count on them. and they are broke.lol.
@dieselintheblood yea man im sick of seeing people in the lines for welfare with 3 kids at there side one on the hip and another baby on the way, all the while on the phone with there boyfriend or whoever talking about the new rims they want for their new car. They really need to drug test people on welfare. if they deny people on drugs welfare that would cut so much money from the deficit. People need to grow up and get there shit together and work like the rest of us!
@stevenp25100 it doesnt matter. The point is to many people are looking for handouts that take advantage of the system. For instance people with unemployment where i live just walk in the same stores every week and don't try to get jobs they just get a signature and walk out, it takes them all of 10 seconds
@stevenp25100 I know what you mean i guess i worded what i was trying to say wrong, compared to everything else it wouldn't be that much, but it is still alot of money that could be used for other things of more importance.
I love this song!! it speaks to us , it moves me. it is the song that recognizes the "little" man. im a proud dump truck driver, and im proud to be in a country that a group can celibrate our countries greatness through song.
@Zolatoner this song aint about the hours you pull a week...its about how hard ya work for your wife...and givin your son and/or daughter what ya never had as a child bud ;)
A 40 hour week aint shit. I work in Agriculture in California and we work a minimum of 60 hours a week but usually I pull 65 to 70 hours a week and sometimes more. We work a minimum of 10 hours a day. 40 hours is nothing I do that in 4 days
to live on 40 hours is easy. Cut your spending, and live simpler. Do your kids really need a 400 dollar cell phone, or your wife a 200 dollar bottle of wine with dinner?
Here's to the Blue Collar worker....35 yr Union Plumber/Pipefitter...retired now but remember the ditches, the cold, the blazing heat, torches,burning clothes,skin, no whining and bitching, just get in the truck, got bills to pay, youngun and wife to feed, some jobs dredded so bad sometimes had to hold that 357 up to yer head and make yourself get in the truck...miss the teamwork, respect, friendship and love for Brother members/workers, memories you can't take away or replace.
@biscuithunter Americans are socialists. There are some things that are so basic and essential that we share the responsibility through our governments. It's a "social contract." United we stand, divided we fall, remember? Do you want a system where the firefighters wait until your check clears before they turn on the hoses? And will you pay to have your private water tower built and filled? Water costs money; you wouldn't want to be a socialist leech!
@1978mudtruck1 they should watch it for a full 40 hours and do back braking work while doing it too :P until they promise to not be so greedy and the slightest hint of greedyness they have to watch this again :) for 40 hours again plus over time lol
@1978mudtruck1 You should keep pickin your nose. Moron. Far from A corporate son dipshit. From Wiggins, Miss. But I do believe in earning my keep, not hidin behind some BS union doing as little as possible. Keyboard badass shut the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i drive a tractor trailer for a living plus i am a volunteer firefighter. I have gone through countless nights with no sleep fighting fires just to go home so i can go to work. I do what I do for the joy of it, not to be recognized.
i heave 8 tons of stones with my hands into skips use a stone cutting saw to make masonary stones to build houses with,, load they on a pallet by hand and load them in the depot on a fork lift everyday and i do my nightly exercises , UK Guy here
Power To People!! God Bless America and The Working People! I am a Nurse married to a Police Officer. My Late Husband was a Paramedic of 18 years. We do what we do because we love our work. Not for the glory and fame. All the Politicians that want to take away from our rights dont think about that when they need our skills!!!! Just Sayin.....
Let the ones in the board rooms and Washington D.C. just try to run this nation without people like these, nothing will get done and the wheels of commerce will grind to a halt. They need to wake up and stop trying to give away the USA's future for profits today.
Detroit auto workers "Union" Steel mills worker"Union" The one who swings the hammer" Carpenters building trade "Union"The one who drive the big rigs .."Teamsters "Union" Police ,fire fighters."Unions" The one who delivers mail" Union" 40 week fought and died for BY ,you got it "Unions" Farmers "Union" Did you not see the tractors rolling into WI? Thank you to all workers of America,And be sure to thank a Union for fighting for better working conditions..
the union made all the jobs go over seas i mean think about it thats why all the mexicans have our jobs bc of the union they dont care they just want money not representation
@ChallengeDK What an ignorant statement. Nothing good for America? How about the following:
40 Hour Work Week
Weekends Off
Worker Safety Standards
Health Care
Pensions
Vacation Time
Minimum Wage, just to name a few.
Perhaps you should bashing people who go to work everyday and earn a wage and get on your knees and thank a Union member for making America a better place.
@mstephens44 You're DAMNED RIGHT!!! Thank the union members and organized labor!!! If you think that management forked over those benefits and protections, you're living in fantasy land. Those were hard won by the unions and the AMERICAN UNION WORKER. I'm a proud union member and Steward for my AFGE local (American Federation of Government Employees -- AFL-CIO) and WE MAKE AMERICA WORK!!! Like your Social Security, Veterans benefits and healthcare?? Thank an AFGE member for making it work!!
@mstephens44 people need to quit bashing the north and the south im southern and have nothing against the northern folk they work just as hard as the south
@JohnDeere30201 Who's bashing? No one is bashing. I'm pointing out what Unions have brought to this country and they don't deserve to be bashed. I think you should review what was actually written vs what you perceived was written.
@ChallengeDK You sure it wasn't that we pay a 20% tarriff to export our goods to China, and they pay a 5% tarriff to export their goods here? Or that they can get away with paying cents on the dollar for sweatshop labor with unsafe working conditions? Unions don't make jobs go overseas. Bosses that don't like unions do.
I'm sorry I'm a little late. I still had time to make up from leaving early Monday when I had to feed Dusty & Tuxey by 10 for the teeth cleaning the next day. Hope your day went well & I hope I'm still having a big affect on you when you think of me. Wink wink.
Join the Industrial Workers of the World, a militant union that IS the workers. No bureaucratic BS, no working with the government, cutting deals with the bosses, and 100% democratic.
I AM A PROUD FARM HAND AND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SCREW THIS SONG UP GOES THROUGH ME FIRST BECAUSE THIS SONG REPRESENTS ME,MY TOWN,MY STATE,MY COUNTRY,AND MY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ARCTICRIDER54 If americans were so lazy then they wouldn't have foreigners driving them. Most americans expect something is owed to them. Too lazy to work.
@cvdixon29 well fuckin america needs to get their heads out of their asses then cause it's fucking pathetic, foreigners get away with anything on the damn roads out here
it's time for us to fight back we built the american country not the dc it's our blood in the red, and our bravery in the blue, dc sold us out time to let them know we are their bosses not the otherway around

to live on 40 hours is easy. Cut your spending, and live simpler. Do your kids really need a 400 dollar cell phone, or your wife a 200 dollar bottle of wine with dinner?

@biscuithunter Americans are socialists. There are some things that are so basic and essential that we share the responsibility through our governments. It's a "social contract." United we stand, divided we fall, remember? Do you want a system where the firefighters wait until your check clears before they turn on the hoses? And will you pay to have your private water tower built and filled? Water costs money; you wouldn't want to be a socialist leech!

@ChallengeDK What an ignorant statement. Nothing good for America? How about the following:
40 Hour Work Week
Weekends Off
Worker Safety Standards
Health Care
Pensions
Vacation Time
Minimum Wage, just to name a few.
Perhaps you should bashing people who go to work everyday and earn a wage and get on your knees and thank a Union member for making America a better place.

@mstephens44 You're DAMNED RIGHT!!! Thank the union members and organized labor!!! If you think that management forked over those benefits and protections, you're living in fantasy land. Those were hard won by the unions and the AMERICAN UNION WORKER. I'm a proud union member and Steward for my AFGE local (American Federation of Government Employees -- AFL-CIO) and WE MAKE AMERICA WORK!!! Like your Social Security, Veterans benefits and healthcare?? Thank an AFGE member for making it work!!

@ChallengeDK You sure it wasn't that we pay a 20% tarriff to export our goods to China, and they pay a 5% tarriff to export their goods here? Or that they can get away with paying cents on the dollar for sweatshop labor with unsafe working conditions? Unions don't make jobs go overseas. Bosses that don't like unions do.
