An angry little tune for Bain Capital (Mitt Romey's old company)

This is the video for "Treason," a song off the new Don Hammontree CD "Brutalist School" - which can be downloaded at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/hammontree3 or at iTunes. It's a protest song aimed at the soulless corporations and greedy fat cat CEOs who would send ALL American jobs overseas if they could get away with it, as long as it works for THEM.

A native of Peoria, Ill., Don Hammontree is a Fall River, Mass.-based singer/songwriter, writer and photographer. "Brutalist School" is his third CD, following "Mount Hope Days" (2003) and "The Mumbai EP" (2005). He is also the author of the self-published novel "Baptized in Formaldehyde," a day-in-the-life, coming-of-age, sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll story for the whole family.

A busy performer, Hammontree has played throughout the American Northeast, Midwest and South, as well as in Poland and Ukraine. For his latest shows, please consult

Sounded like this video was from the 60's protesting against Uncle Sam. Nice work with the back up video. I how your not that mad all the time. Jim

@bcapss278 Nah, I'm actually pretty cheerful, I've been told. I'll have to smile in my next video before I get typecast ;-)

@FirePhotog Are you kidding? Tea Baggers? Deregulation is what's wrong. We need to stop the selfish swine before the Republic is reduced to feudalism.

People that support Tea Bagging miscreants (Koch Brothers) and the right wing propaganda machine are just begging to be used.

Hell yeah!

"About the only "jobs" that will be available to US Born citizens who aren't well-connected, other than the military, will be as drug traffickers, car thieves, identity thieves, armed robbers, muggers, burglars, pimps, and prostitutes."

I forgot to add panhandlers to that list.

@bushwhack77 Not to mention bringing in foreign guest workers or just plain illegal immigrants to do the jobs that can't be shipped overseas. Now we're borrowing from COMMUNIST China to support our schools, roads, bridges, and military. If this continues, about the only "jobs" that will be available to US Born citizens who aren't well-connected, other than the military, will be as drug traffickers, car thieves, identity thieves, armed robbers, muggers, burglars, pimps, and prostitutes.

I love this guy I used to babysit his kids. xD I love his music too! yo go Don!

This is a 2 prong problem! Yes I agree with the video but our citizens also contributed to this problem. If we did not want this to happen, Americans should demand and purchase more American made products, goods, and services. Look at the results.

Tell it like it is, Don.
