Little Johnny goes to his dad and
asks, "What is politics?"
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 had 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 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
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."
