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.”
