A small boy asks his Dad, "Daddy, what is
politics?" Dad says, "Well son, let me try to
explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner 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 the 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 that 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. 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 having sex
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.”
