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 head of the family, so call me The President. Your mother 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 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 parent's 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 say's 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, "The President is screwing the Working Class while the
Government is
sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in Deep Shit."
