I remember when this song came out in the early 80's. I interpreted it then as a broadside against Reagan Republicans who were "anti-working man" and "anti-farmer". I had forgotten about this song until two years ago. I was shocked how the political environment has changed. This is the kind of song that would be a huge hit at a Trump rally. My have times changed.
Thank you so much for posting this. This song was my favorite song when I was really little, I even got to see them perform it live when I was 4 or 5 years old. This brings back good memories, thank you so much.
You sure wrote a great song, Mr. Jimmie Fadden. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is one of the BEST Bands in History! Also, is this video available on VHS or DVD?

The tRumphumpers never listen to the words. They were playing Born In the USA too.
1987.
It's still a great song and it's message is as true as ever.
Trump would have to actually care about farms and farmers=both dairy & crop
This song still rings true today. 2021
