Jimmy Dean - Sixteen Tons, I Owe My Soul to The Company Store

Wall Street was Pissed Off when Henry Ford doubled wages.

What was so comforting about Fordism was that it suggested that the economy operated on a virtuous, self-reinforcing cycle. Only when the middle class did well could the country do well. And as the country grew ever richer, so would the middle class.

When Corruption rides in on Self Righteous zealot hypocrites with power and money, we all loose. I Owe My Soul to The Company Store/2009 Credit Card Companies/Bankers and the Tax Man. Keeping Americans barefoot and pregnant, to busy working then seeing what really going on in the country.

1. Hey, I wear socks and haven't gotten anybody pregnant!
Of course, I'm too busy studying and wanting to impregnate, but nobody's perfect...

4. Tennessee Ernie Ford
As far as I know Ernie Ford first sang this song in the 1950's. Don't know if Jimmy Dean had a later version or wrote the song.
