A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is
politics?" Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this
way: I'm the bread winner of the family, so let's
call me Capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator
of the money, so we'll call her the Government.
We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call
you People.
The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And
your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now,
think about that and see if makes sense." So the
little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad
has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother
crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that
the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the
little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his
mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he
goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked,
he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed
with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father,
"Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics
now." The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your
own words what you think politics is all about." The
little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is
screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound
asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future
is in deep shit."
