Theres many plant workers here that are worthless, not even worth $5 an hour. But someone like my Dad who worked for GM for over 36 years, only missed around 10 days and got a skimpy ass watch, and got screwed out of pension. Sorry but this makes me MAD
Biggest idiot I've ever heard. Take a business class, Mr. Rich and learn how far Motor City took the US to the cleaners. The UAW has done more to hurt my beloved country than any stockbroker could ever imagine. It took this hack an hour to write his crappy song cause there was no preparation or homework done whatsoever.
I love some Jon ! This guy is amazing ,maybe on of these days I can get a chance too sing with you . Hey check out my videos at Country Essence singing.Love CeCe.
John Rich is a real great guy, a gift from God. Truly blessed is John.when John offered to pay meat loafs charity if he lost on celebrity apprentice, johns human kindness touched my heart. I will buy your record any day John. Australia loves you brother.
Politics aside! I wouldn't know John Rich if he hadn't been on Celebrity Apprentice. I'm not a big country music fan but I used to be.....back in the 80's with Garth Brooks and George Strait. What I've seen of John on the tv show brought me here. This is a stand-up, honest, intelligent, funny and caring guy. God bless you John and I hope you win the Celebrity Apprentice.
i believe if you have the PRIVILEGE of living in America, you should support ( you dont neccasarily have to believe in) but show support for the leader of our country. Im actually not offended by all the Obama bashing because that would be the same as blaming a mentally disabled person for their behavior, you cant really blame rednecks for being igorant or shooting off at the mouth, everyone knows rednecks are ignorant anyways LOL
The reason were all in this financial mess is because government elected officials are and due take pay offs and business men and unscrupulous companies who left USA for cheap labor and also make unfair trade policies with countries that don’t trade fair with us .Making them richer and richer and depleting our tax base. Unions are 7% per of are work force don’t be fooled that this is the problem. Not making product's in this country is. Unfair trade is. Slave wages is.Go On line Made in USA
job well done john rich love the song gonna learn it and spread the word brotherman its the truth this country is going to hell in a handbasket especially with dumbass obama in office we need a real president not a muslim from some other country and definitely not a lier and someone pushing thier crap on us taking our country from us and destroying it go home obama your not from here
so u guys like this song i do to but if really listen to they way he talks n talks he is a rep he don't care of the middle class as long as he makes money he even pretty said that in a report a few months back when this song song came out
he's right so instead of sendin those jobs overseas why dont we pay good hardworkin americans to do it.... Grant it, it would cost more, but u can still make profits... I am ashamed of CEO's and goverment and board of directors that are caught up in stupid greed. American factories worked in the past... why cant they work now? U live in the most badass country ever so why are u killing it from the inside? Thumbs up if u work ur ass off. oh and the 37 ppl are greedy CEO's

@QuAg50512 In order to survive, companies have to make unfortunate moves. Why send them over seas? You know why they Detroit companies went under, right? Because THEY KEPT JOBS HERE. Unions killed them. Wages too high, benefits too strong. Unfortunately, if they would have sent those over seas, they would probably be in better shape.
@1969DodgeCharger2333 Unions killed them? Not quite. Greed killed them. Do you realize health benefits are govt. subsidized in Japan, but when they build their auto plants down south, they don't give it to us? Don't just spout off shit you heard. Do a little research first. The union wage strengthens all the other businesses around. When the company doesn't pay the laborer, the $ stays on top. The employee spreads it around. Therefore, you get a middle class. Bone up on your history my friend.
and buy an AMERICAN MADE PRODUCT![imagine..a product still manufactured in America..].
Gusset jeans...worlds better than Levis or any other Chinese made jeans..they wear like steel..and no i don't have nothin to do with John or Gusset jeans..

Come out of the fog dont be a Spellbound on your knees fool to the unscrupulous Businesses and politicans that think they are our kings. they are not. Work for less or else-will leave for cheaper laxed ruled countries ect,ect, and train them to do your work. We must stop this. Support fair wages.
Kudos to John Rich for telling it like it is..... and for all of you belly aching about what his guitar costs, shame on you that's his bread and butter, What do you want, him out of work too? don't be silly..... WTG John Keep doing what you're doing... you make a whole lot of people smile.....

First of all. John Rich. DAMN!!!! Just an ascoustic and talent . The right message for a government that doesn' t want to hear it. No one came and bailed me out. I wasn' t a bank. I wasn' t an auto plant. I am just a person trying to make it. Just like millions of others. Never been on the Government dole. But after 45 years and 1 1/2 years away from retirement, I lost my job. Am I scared? No. Worried about tomorrow? Yes. I have worked hard. Like so many .
If human beings were to become a natural resource to other beings I would be the first to declare that rednecks become liquidated first and preserve the smarter groups of people that would help ensure the survival and advancement of mankind
great song amen John Rich, I am pissed off that our country is going to hell. I wish that we would get our heads of our ass and see what they are doing to us. dome people are so dome.
howd they prop it up when they are destroyin american cars which made detroit detroit they giving these damn foriegn car co that want to kill us (Toyota) take over and bury Detroit
this is how amrica is now and its making me sick .here the big change people wanted i think the change is a big joke and call me a right winged extremist idc becuz i would rather use my words then guns becuz i am standing up for what i beleave in and all these bills being past so fast so they stay out of the public eye how have those bills affected me other then we are in debt big time and the bank bale out money dont get me started about that and im sick of just shitting by...
I'm starting a new corporation, and I'm hiring all the white workers who were laid off to give billions to the wall street jews who did not deserve it. the workers earne their pensions, so let's buy up all the foreclosed properties and get america running like it used to, back in the 40's.
my idea calls for manufacturers in the abandoned and foreclosed buildings in places like detroit, rebuilding america the way it was built up to begin with. made in the USA!! 14/88
-Dude, without Obama, detroit would have been shut down- Chrysler just announced hiring over 1100 workers today, had McCain been elected, and Detroit would have truely been shut down, and GM is paying back the taxpayers. Hate to break it to you, but the auto bailouts will go down as a success.
@cinderpath why do you even bother commenting on this if you are only going to rant about obama. "Obama haas done nothing, except make problems worse. He has no clue what he is doing and the country is doomed
@CountryMuzikMafia- Tthis song is pretty good. HOWEVER the opening line...
My Daddy taught me in this country everyones the same
Yeah I don't believe he believes that for a second.
Then he says his grand daddy- how Wall St. lost all his money
Ok WHY or HOW did that happen? It happened in 2008 after 8 years of BUSH. NEWSFLASH to CountryMuzikMafia... Obama was NOT president then. Listen to the song... work hard for you dollar and NEVER pass the blame. Then WHY you blaming Obama?
I'll listen to bill o'reilly and beck before any other news station...so being fox's poster boy isn't a terrible thing eric...i think one comment is enough no need to keep copy and paste'n over and over....
I will agree...BUY AMERICAN AND GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

Had to comment here since the "official" video to this song is too heartbreaking to watch!
Makes me furious that "hope and change" is actually "change and DESPAIR" for the regular folks while the "political elites" make sure that their "friends" are "taken care of"....
this is a great song and big and rich is always singing bout peace and the true shit and whats sad is so many of you are leaving comments with hate and flipping out on eachother over a video on youtube cant we all just stop the hatred towards eachother and understand we all have different opinions yes but you dont need to start a war over the shit come on now. you have the right to your opinion but @ the same time if u dont have anything nice to say keep it 2 urself & leave the drama at the door
Rich, you're so full of crap. This Labor Day your playing a party for Don (Massey Coal) Blankenship. The man most responsible for destroying Unions and Mountains in Appalachia. How can you sing this song and play for the Devil?
Eastwood, you obviously have no clue. I went to that rally and I'm a true West Virginian, unlike you. The labor unions are supporting these liberal candidates who want to run coal out of business. Don's one of the only people KEEPING people in work. How dumb can you be? Keep it up, John!
In the first qtr of 09, Massey revenue increased 25%. Yet, Blankenship announced an average 6% cut in workers wages & benefits. He is notorious for firing experienced, older workers & hiring young, inexperienced workers. Massey has the most safety and environmental violations of any coal co..
he is an amazing artist! it's a great thing to hear singers live and they sound exactly or better then on their cd-not a lot of artists are good live nowadays-money is everything-and talent is fleeting-GO JOHN RICH UR A PIMP!
Buy and support domestic American made products USA first demand look for American made at stores and on line go to American made . Lets support all fellow brothers and sisters in America. IN God we trust thats why its printed on our money. Spread the word!!!
Many so called Americans are and have been traitor's they dont support domestic true USA companies. They would rather have there fellow American make poverty wages.. They are like Judas, jealous envious evil minded people. But there are enough of us true patriotic Americans that will still keep the American dream alive. Fare decent wages domestic home grown. Buy and demand American made at stores. And go on line to made in America.
That's amazing that he wrote that song in just an hour! It's a great song and it's great that someone finally wrote a song about these economic hard times.
This is so true!! they are stealing our money and leaving us to hold the bag. We are still loosing our homes, our savings, our farms, our jobs and our future. All the wile they are raping the American people and we are thanking them for it!
Damn good song. Just one in many they come out with these days; one that actually reflects the grass roots views of us country folk, even some small town city folk.
Yep, if they keep on outsourcing, they'll be shutting America down. Ya know as far as buying American, Toyota and Honda are keeping Americans working here in this country. Ford, GM and Chrysler have ripped the jobs out from under people and have the Chineese doing it for 16 cents and hour. They've taken the very people buying their vehicles out of the equation. Its pretty simple, you may bitch about a person making $20 and hour to build a car, but their also stimulating the economy by buying it.
Yea toyota and honda are keeping americans working.... but when you buy a foreign car... THE PROFIT still goes overseas, so money is still leaving the country.
well maybe the big 3 should have stopped having huge coke and hooker parties every other night and actually focussed on producing vehicles people can actually drive for a decade without having to throw it in the trash by year 3
I'm still driving the same Dodge Caravan I've had for the last twelve years. almost no problems save for rusting caused by road salt. 167000 miles and counting. I HAVEN'T SEEN A JAP CAR LAST THAT LONG!
What brand? Most people that I know who have Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissans have all had serious mechanical failures start in the first 100000 miles and generally spend more on repairs than I've had to.
well i know of hondas toyotas nissans, that have all lasted 300,000km+. the thing is, while im sure youve had great experience with your domestic, the facts are out there that imports since the early to mid 80's (no arguing that prior to that japanese autos sucked balls) totally outperform domestics in maintenance and overall life. i like domestics too! i want a dodge powerwagon cause im a fuckin redneck! but i realize that they are big pieces of shit on the inside!
by the way, my dad had a '93 dodge caravan fully loaded, SE edition or whatever with all the bells and whistles, and the tranny went once under warranty and then was about to go again right after warranty was almost up. they had huge tranny problems and its just your experience that is an anomaly. they are known for their shitty transmissions. so everyone has their own experiences as you can see...
Ford did with the Lions what he's doing to his autocompany. He has no clue who to hire and he doesn't know that its been time to step aside and retire for the last 20 years
too fucking bad their vehicles in reality fucking suck balls. dont get me wrong theres nothing i want more to drive than a big jacked up dodge powerwagon with a big ass winch and trailer and shit but the fuckin interior of the truck starts falling apart after 2 hours and its generally a piece of shit to maintain and not to mention horribly fuel inefficient
and fuck john rich he doesnt give a shit about any of the people that've lost their jobs. same thing as cashing in on 9/11
wat the fuck is a "jagoff" you fuck?? and fuck you bitch you dont even know wtf im talking about you dumb fuckin cunt. i know this song is legit its the best song there is so shut the fuck up before you make youself look more stupid. and chevy bullshitter??? my chevy will outrun anything you fuckin own bitch so get your facts straight before you go in and just start sayin shit
hell yea he did it the right way so u cant take that away from him and finally im proud to see some one speak up about whats going on and its tobad that the bankers dopnt have a heart or care about us becuase if they did maybe this song would make them feel like the shit they are but it wont ,thanks for the song john keep tellin it how it is
He's got every right to complain about what's going on. He EARNED his money the right way and not by skimming bailout money. He's been poor and knows what it's like to be a blue collar worker. If guys like him don't speak out who will?
i think its kinda funny how hes actin soo upset about whats happening, when his ass flys in private jets, and is a multi million dollar musician, hes got it soooo damn hard FUCK HIM!......
I wasn't defending the unions i work for a companie that has another shop out of state about two hours from me that has all union workers, and they all make twice as much money as i do but dont do any better work acually one of their quality controll guys looked at a sign that my shop built and said he wished his guys did as good as us. unions take compitition out of the work place and turn companies into crap. cuz everyone can do a half ass job and still get paid as good as if they did thr best
i dont think the song puts the people that work for the big three and the companies them self on the same side. he is saying that all the big banks and major companies are more concerned with their jets and billions of $ than they are about the employes of the companies. detroit the city is being shut down not gm ford and chrystler. sure the unions have totaly screwed everyone over, but the people running the show have done a lot of the damage.
Im from Newton Iowa where Maytag corporation was based it hurts pretty bad when a towm of 15,000 loses a company that employed over an eighth of the town and the whole reason was cause the UNION was too stubborn to compromise.
My husband just lost his job at GM Powertrain WiIlow Run Ypsilanti, MI. He has worked at GM for 35 years and has worked 7 days a week for the last 9 years. He went to college to get a better job at GM. Greed has nothing to do with it, workers just wanted a piece of the pie. No one in Detroit wants pity, just a fair shake. We are in shock. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Thank you John Rich for telling our story in Shutting Detroit Down. God Bless You!
well if u think about it the every body that payed taxes to bail out the guys in detroit should have the right to say whut they want it was there money but i am just saying u know whut i mean
I just think that if things were left alone and not changed so often the country would be in better shape, im not pushing my opinion on anybody i am just simply speaking my mind, so ignore me lol
check out John Riches shutten down detroit and the ibuyusa video on you tube the guy has great words. We cant be sheep and spellbound anymore by deceitful politicians, media, and forieign unfair trading countries wich are paying and owning these peoples greedy souls.They are not American Patriots They are about me not We.Support Fair trade Domestic owned. BUY USA on line and at stores. Country First !!!
What most people fail to realize is that working for the Big 3 was essentially the American Dream. You went to work in the factory made good money for 30 years and then retired. Now all those poor factory wokers are losing their american dream. A big part of this great country is dying with the Big 3.
YOU ARE RIGHT detroitgirl01.....100% & WE NEED MORE SINGERS/SONGWRITERS TO TAKE A STAND LIKE JOHN HAS CUZ THEY GOT THE POWER TO MAKE AMERICAN LISTEN , YEAH THEY GOING TO MAKE MONEY ON ANY SONG THAT'S A HIT OR ALL SONGS FOR THE MATTER, PPL ARE LOOSING OR ALREADY LOST THEIR JOBS & THIS COUNTRY'S AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE LOOSING THEIR JOBS ALL OVER THE PLACE, BUSINESSES SHUTTING DOWN, WITH THE POWER THEY ALL GOT AS STARS ECT, THEY CAN AND SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT TO HELP THIS COUNTRY OUT BY SONGS!
Its still more than most of the country makes, especially with only a high school diploma. More importantly its more than the foreign automakers are paying for ex-farmers that are very happy to be making that much.
I know a young woman who used to work for GM. She left and went to Honda because the enviroment at GM was toxic between low level management and the union workers.
Greed killed Detroit, greedy unions, shareholders and management. Not Bush or Obama, and I don't feel sorry for them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow. this guy is a joke. Detroit over-extended itself by "promising" ludicrous pension plans. Living it up in Wall Street? Read a newspaper Mr. Rich. People are fucked in wall street and it is hemorrhaging money. I don't defend reckless greed, but John Rich is taking advantage of country music dumbasses.
HisAirness, you are sadly mistaken. This song isn't about Wall Street being lucrative and living large, he is aiming his lyrics at businesses like AIG that used bailout money from the Federal Government to fund vacations. It is greed that caused this economic crisis and Wall Street is only in this trouble because of the greed and corruption there.
From reading your idiotic response, I'd assume you voted for George Bush both terms.
a good song!!

I'm starting a new corporation, and I'm hiring all the white workers who were laid off to give billions to the wall street jews who did not deserve it. the workers earne their pensions, so let's buy up all the foreclosed properties and get america running like it used to, back in the 40's.
my idea calls for manufacturers in the abandoned and foreclosed buildings in places like detroit, rebuilding america the way it was built up to begin with. made in the USA!! 14/88

-Dude, without Obama, detroit would have been shut down- Chrysler just announced hiring over 1100 workers today, had McCain been elected, and Detroit would have truely been shut down, and GM is paying back the taxpayers. Hate to break it to you, but the auto bailouts will go down as a success.

Yep, if they keep on outsourcing, they'll be shutting America down. Ya know as far as buying American, Toyota and Honda are keeping Americans working here in this country. Ford, GM and Chrysler have ripped the jobs out from under people and have the Chineese doing it for 16 cents and hour. They've taken the very people buying their vehicles out of the equation. Its pretty simple, you may bitch about a person making $20 and hour to build a car, but their also stimulating the economy by buying it.

by the way, my dad had a '93 dodge caravan fully loaded, SE edition or whatever with all the bells and whistles, and the tranny went once under warranty and then was about to go again right after warranty was almost up. they had huge tranny problems and its just your experience that is an anomaly. they are known for their shitty transmissions. so everyone has their own experiences as you can see...

HisAirness, you are sadly mistaken. This song isn't about Wall Street being lucrative and living large, he is aiming his lyrics at businesses like AIG that used bailout money from the Federal Government to fund vacations. It is greed that caused this economic crisis and Wall Street is only in this trouble because of the greed and corruption there.
From reading your idiotic response, I'd assume you voted for George Bush both terms.

He does have a point. The big 3 are paying too much for labor - but that can be attributed to bad management giving unions too much control.
But it was also caused by the folks making $10 an hour that could get mortgages on $500,000 houses that they could never dream of affording.
Too many things came together all at once.
