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 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
had 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 poo."
