“A small boy asks his Dad, “Daddy, 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 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. 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 having sex 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.”
