Taste of Country says Ronnie Dunn's new single, 'Cost of Livin', portrays the working class in America is becoming too familiar with the loss of jobs and the high cost of living.  Families are struggling and the economy doesn't seem to be getting better.  Ronnie Dunn has the ability to connect with common hard working people and I think that's why he is successful. You can hear the pain and the e
