A little boy went to his father one day and asked, "Dad, what is politics?

"His
father said, "Well, son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the
family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mother is the administrator of the money and
keeping the house in order, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care
of your needs, so we'll call you the People. The maid, 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 to you."

The little boy nodded, and went off to bed thinking about what his father told him.

Later that night, he heard his baby brother crying, so he got up to check on him. He
found that the baby had made a big mess in his diaper and needed changing. So the
little boy went to his parents' room, and found that his mother was sound asleep. Not
wanting to wake her, he tiptoed over to the maid's room. Finding the door locked, he
peeked in the keyhole and saw his father in bed with the maid. Finally, he gave up and
just went back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy sat down at breakfast with his father and said, "Dad, I
think I understand the concept of politics now." "Good, son," said the father. "Now
tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."

"Well," the little boy replied, "While Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the
Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep
doodoo!!!"
