A small boy asks his Dad, "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 takes care of the household chores, so we'll consider her as 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 his 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 & finds his mother sound asleep. not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room.
Finding the door locked, he peeks through the keyhole & see his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up & 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 & the FUTURE is in deep shit."
