Move over “Try That In A Small Town,” because the next controversial right-wing rally song is here and it’s called “Rich Men North of Richmond” by Oliver Anthony. And like with Jason Aldean’s country tune, it’s being meme'd to the Mason-Dixon line and back, this time for its not-so-subtle lyrics like “the obese milkin' welfare,” and “Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.”
Rich Men North of Richmond has been uploaded to all major streaming platforms and will show up there in a few days.

Im still in a state of shock at the outpouring of love I've seen in the comments, messages and emails. I'm working to respond to everyone as quickly as possible. pic.twitter.com/iScaYp9AWQ
Anthony’s concerns over wage stagnation and tax misplacement are valid, but shifting the blame to other struggling Americans seems hypocritical in a song claiming to target the rich. For that – and a little bit for his beard – here are the best memes and reactions to Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond.”

That "Rich Men North of Richmond song" is not a class solidarity song since it spends verse 3 punching down on poor people pic.twitter.com/w5FXHflo35
