A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What are Politics?" Dad says,
"Well
son,
let me try to explain it this way:
#1. I'm the head of the family, so call me the President.
#2 Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the
Government.
#3 Your mom and I are here to take care of your needs, so we'll call
you the
People.
#4 As for the nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class.
#5 And we'll call your baby brother the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense." So the little boy
goes off
to bed
thinking about what his dad had to say.
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 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 see his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up
and
goes back to bed.
At the breakfast table 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, "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.
