What Is Politics?

A small boy asks his dad,
"What is politics?"

Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it. 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 it 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."
