A little boy goes to his father 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 the People. The nanny, we'll call her the Working Class and your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense."
Later that night the little boy 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, but finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake his mother, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks through the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. So the little boy 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 job 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."
