Woody Guthrie: "This Land is Your Land"

Woody Guthrie feels as if America is a great place for independence, but some individuals may suffer. We know that because while he says liberating phrases like "no one can stop me", he says that he knows some people aren't thriving in a land of liberty, but starving because their independence means they are not aided by the government. I think his message is that America doesn't benefit all people, even though it is supposed to be a land of and for the people. I do agree to some point, but today I know we have many social programs and charities that make a difference for the people who are suffering, so perhaps in Woody's time, there was more of a dire need for attention to those who suffered.
