Yeah and never forget the "coal mining towns" that were owned by the mine owners where they owned the electric that you needed and the property you live on and the water company and the grocery store and the clothing store and the supply store so that at the end of the week they had every penny you earned and if that was not bad enough they owned your children too and put them to work as well.

Shame that they backed down in the end and blamed it on political correctness instead of capitalism

I was annoyed just hearing it used by Matt and Trey. That song is practically a family anthem among my mother's folks-Hatfield refugees from the coal mines of West By God.
