Awesome. very catchy. For me however, its not about what I have or have not - its a matter of saving this country. As well intentioned as progressives are, they are causing damage to America and Americans.
wow, The lib's must see this as threat since they are out in force with all the hateful comments toward the song. Great little tune with a simple message. Funny how most of the hate is directed at companies like Kotch. Put them out of business and let the government take care of those put out of work. Becareful of what you wish for as you shoot the golden goose.

Lyric: "taxes goin’ up"

Lyric: "I can’t afford your charity I got my freedom Now Let me be"
They *need* that charity for a functioning society. For instance, literacy programs (a form of "charity") were recently cut, and that will lead to reduced literacy, which will impact the singer and her family.
@NoMoreBlatherDotCom When anyone is forced to serve another at the point of a gun that is not charity. It's tyranny. Society is not government and government is not what makes societies function.
@BifMcAwesome: would you say it's being forced "at the point of a gun" when you're required to support a national defense, the police and fire departments, and so on?
P.S. If you don't like how our gov't functions, then leave. You aren't willing to abide by our rules. Somalia's a great place, you'd like it.
Typical conservatives. Title a song "Don't You See", and then make a "video" consisting of 3 minutes of blank, empty, invisible space that nobody can see.
like everyone else practically, i think this is very good but would be a 9th inning walk off home run if you could find some poignant video to go with it.

@KellyHomeCO Benjamin Franklin was right. “I observed that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves.”
1. Childhood literacy programs were recently cut. Despite hundreds of visits, I've so far been unable to find a teapartier to justify the cuts (at least in a way that's based in reality):
24ahead . com/n/10784
2. A *third* place winner in Powerline's contest has to be a satire:
24ahead . com/n/10786
3. Here's a 20+ year-old song about someone who's situation is actually sympathetic:
peekurl . com / vbcX9SB
If Marie Antoinette were still around, she'd be a teapartier.
@NoMoreBlatherDotCom You want a justification for the cuts? Here's two: 1) Nowhere in the constitution does the federal government have the authority or obligation to make sure people can function in society. 2) Therefore, due to the 10th amendment, education has always been a state responsibility.
Why do you liberals insist on making taxpayers in one state pay for programs that benefit people in another?
@TXKafir assumes I'm necessarily a liberal just because I support sanity and good government. That says so much.
He also ignores the fact that states like California have sent the feds billions *more* than they've gotten back, unlike other states.
The bottom line is that cutting literacy programs will lead to lower literacy, leading to problems for everyone. TPers aren't providing an alternative: they don't care about literacy dropping. Ergo: keep them as far away from governing as possible.
Fmr Reagan/GHWB economist Bruce Bartlett: "by the broadest measure of the tax rate, the current level is unusually low and has been for some time" (remove the spaces):
peekURL . com / zd5hYvE
And, the TPers aren't about good government, cleaning up fraud and duplication, etc. They have a fundamental disagreement with the type of government that about 80% of America prefers. Sorry about that.
Really feed the need to spew your tripe, don't you nomoreblather. And by whose standards do you suggest our taxes aren't "high?" I think having to pay someone $90k so they can take home $45k is too high. You don't? I think taxing people's heirs for your death is ridiculous. And I think if we cut the bureaucracy by 50%, no one would really notice. This is a great song-spot on-and the rest of America had better get ready for a long Tea Party--because it's coming in 2012.
Real conservatives realize that there are other people in the U.S. and that those other people have different needs, abilities, and experiences. Real conservatives want good government that establishes a healthy, ordered society.
The teaparty types could care less: it's all about them. They're delusional nihilists who need to be kept as far away from governing as possible.
Today's Teaparty Word is "solipsism": the belief that everything revolves around you.
What's appropriate or desirable for the father in the song might not be appropriate or desirable for others. For instance, the "high" taxes (which aren't that high after all) the song complains about might go to someone who does actually need medicine. And, without that medicine, that person might infect others, or start riots, or so on.
@capsela2 is an example of why teapartiers have to be kept as far away from governing as possible.
Whatever my situation and whatever capsela2's situation, the fact remains that there are millions of people in the U.S. who would have problems buying medications. The teaparty solution is not Christian, nor liberal, nor conservative: it's sociopathic libertarian Darwinism, the law of the jungle.
@NoMoreBlatherDotCom I serve as a volunteer ambulance first responder. Several times a month I go into homes where people complain about the cost of medications, health care, etc. BUT, then I look across the room at the newest 3D TV with several computers, cars in the driveway that I would certainly like to have, etc. We have created a GIMEE society and too many people want to take advantage of it.
And by the way, the same people hand us a Medicare card so Uncle Sugar picks up the tab.
We had a War on Poverty, but now we need a War On The Poor to keep them in their place! Time to bring back workhouses and debtors prisons. That'll show them, and if it doesn't the random floggings will!
America's poor just aren't poor enough!
P.S. The Kochs and libertarians strongly support mass immigration (which costs the poor jobs or earnings) and ignore social issues (which are a better way to fight poverty). Don't trust libertarians.
This is just sad. They can't even provide an image? Let me suggest a screaming bald eagle/American flag/lapel pin/GWB clearing brush montage.
Speaking of which, why was Powerline such a strong supporter of GWB, someone who - whatever O did - greatly increased U.S. debt through such ventures as the Iraq War ($1 to $3 trillion, depending on who's counting).
Why isn't Powerline taking responsibility for a supposed mess they helped get us into?
This is great little song.
