The problem with the song is that all those complaints could be fixed by proposals the Democrats have been trying to get through for years.
Inflation is way down because of the Biden administration and the Democrats have been trying to get the minimum wage raised for a decade to address poor pay. Taxes in the US are lower than any other first world country, but what we do pay we get jack shit for it, which the Democrats are also trying to improve with interesting projects, public transit, healthcare, and energy initiatives.
The singer is pandering to a Republican audience that still and perpetually believe the Democrats are to blame, when it’s Republicans holding back any real improvements.

Please. Political corruption, homelessness, food scarcity, suicide, mental health issues, and declining wages (in real terms) exist everywhere in this country. Even in the Bluest of Cities located in the Bluest of States.
The singer is pandering to a Republican audience …
I disagree for two reasons. First he has a video where he goes through the meaning of “Rich Men North of Richmond” and he’s pretty clear about who he is, why he wrote the song, and his personal political leanings. Second he has other songs where he goes after Republicans. He isn’t bitching about Democrats his anger is with the Political Class period.
“Rich Men” is a song written by a member of the American Proletariat, it’s really that simple.
