    You do realize that this song is a biting bitter recrimination of what was going on in america during the early 80's when Reagan's economic policies were devastating farming communities in the mid-west and when his social policies were destroying poor inner-city communities all over the country.

    This song is about how the urban poor and rural farmers were being ignored and abused by the government thanks to policies which greatly benefited the rich and corporations.

  • I was an Ohio born and bred, farm boy, college Junior back in the '80's when Mellencamp's songs hit the Heartland. They touched and still touch our hearts because they speak to the down-to-eath, blue collar hard working people who deep down to the bone couldn't give a damn about and won't be swayed by all the politician's games, but rather still, some would say naively, dream that America is open for business and offers the best, last hope for any decent and free way of life.

    It's been nearly 30 years and these policies are still been played out across the world by all governments.

  • Omg fuck all you people who have nothing nice to say about america not everyone in america is bad and dont blame a whole country because all oir politicians are rich people who think because they have money they suddenly think their smarter than everyone without it and they think they should be in charge
