Newfoundland Man is a new song by Dave Panting. The first public performance of the song was by Gulliver's Spree at the 2009 Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival. Because of the rain, the show was an unplugged performance inside a tent.
Welfare is temporary help to get people back on their feet if they get sick & would end up homeless or starving otherwise. That's a GOOD thing & in the US the amount of tax dollars we spend on this -contrary to the rich robbers' lies- is extremely little. Encouraging others to think we shouldnt help people when theyre in trouble is just evil. How could you be so gifted musically which is beautiful, yet use it to express ugliness & hate? You picked words just to capitalize on peoples ignorance.
It really is a fine song, I just think you need to change the lyrics, because you are capitalizing on lie-based hate. When an American says "redneck", we mean someone who is mentally unfortunate enough that the best they can do is repeat what others say, to be in agreeal with the crowd. Your lyrics prey on that group mental weakness-> Youre encouraging them to feel pride in condemning some people just to feel superior to others and be unified as a group BY SHARING A COMMON HATE.
The song is fine, but the lyrics make me want to throw up. I am deeply ashamed the U.S. has infected even other countries with it's REDNECK bullshit about how "lazy welfare people" are the ones who stole all the tax money. THAT'S A LIE TOLD BY THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY DID TAKE ALL THE MONEY( THE REPUBLICANS, THE CORPORATE OWNERS). They tricked their very victims they robbed (the people of this country) into PARROTING hate towards some sick people who need help. Jesus would feel ashamed of you
