Read it again, I think it's a slam at the socialists. along the lines of "yeah, here's a problem we can solve by taking some money from the rich ... oh wait! there are no rich any more, where will we get the money now!?" I always saw it as an indictment of the "throw money at it" crowd and the class-warfare fans. At least that's how I see it.

I don't quite know how to take that song, largely because I don't know much about Alvin Lee, assuming he wrote it. Most of those 60's rockers were liberal, though, so I have to take it at face value. If it was meant as a slam against socialists, it's a damn good one. I'll try to get more info tonight and report back if I find out anything. "I'd Love to Change the World" does sound suspect, though.
