The Republicans want to cut the deficit so they increase it by giving tax cuts to the very rich. The Democrats want to cut the deficit so they by propose a record high Department of Defense budget.

The Republicans like military spending so they like more money for war as do the Democrats. Whenever the Republicans say they want to cut spending what they are really saying is we want to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The Democrats say they fight for the ‘middle class’ but the middle class gets poorer.

No one, Republicans or Democrats in government seems to care for poor. Helping the poor is left to volunteers and non-profits but non-profits often duplicate and fight for services to the poor.

How about we minimize government like the Republicans always say but do not do and we form small communicates of concern, they care for the least with us, not as a volunteer but as a family member.

Caring for the poor is the only way to care for the poor. By voting, signing petitions, writing letters and even protesting we seem to support the establishment and the powers to be where the rich get richer and the all the rest of us get poorer. So why do it. The only way we can fight the system is by resistance, non-violent resistance that exposes the evil of the system and demands real change. Care for the poor and resist and the rest will fall in place.

Or to use the words of John Lennon, who died thirty years ago today, Imagine:

“Imagine”

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today’‘…

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one.
