Politics

 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."
