A little boy goes to his dad and ask, "what is politics?" Dad says,"well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so lets call me capitalism.
Your mum, is the administrator of the money, so we 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 had said. Later that night, he heard his baby brother crying, so he got up to check on him. He discovered that the baby had severely soiled his nappy.
So the little boy goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his dad 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".
