Notice that Lennon wrote "imagine" and not "I wish" in that song. He believed in keeping his money (capitalist), he also believed in personal responsibility, and remember the other song. I guess he would be against Occupy while Pelosi, Reid, and Obama were for them.
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
Let me tell you how it will be,
There’s one for you, nineteen for me,
‘Cause I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don’t take it all.
‘Cause I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.

(If you drive a car ), I’ll tax the street,
(If you try to sit ), I’ll tax your seat,
(If you get too cold ), I’ll tax the heat,
(If you take a walk ), I’ll tax your feet.
Taxman.

‘Cause I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.
Don’t ask me what I want it for
(Haha! Mister Wilson!)
If you don’t want to pay some more
(Haha! Mister Heath!),
‘Cause I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.

Now my advice for those who die, (Taxman!)
Declare the pennies on your eyes, (Taxman!)
‘Cause I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.
And you’re working for no-one but me,
(Taxman).

-George Harrison

He is a pompous, ignorant jackass. That's not calling names, that's simply stating a fact.

Golly, gee whillikers. Four guys from the working to lower middle classes have mountains of cash dropped into their laps for doing what they have more than a little talent as well as enjoy and they have the temerity to admit that they actually want to KEEP a lot of it? Positively shocking! Well, to the mental midgets who parlay that distinct handicap into Teawipe Parrotism.

Yet another bandwidth sucking black hole of nothingness from the usual list of suspects. **yawn**

It would be interesting to have been able to get Lennon's take on Margaret Thatcher and her little bitch, Ronald Reagan.
