WHAT IS POLITICS?
This little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?" The 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
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 boys 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 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."
