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 am the head of the
family, so call me The President.Your mother is the administrator of the
money, so we will call her The Government. We are here to take care of your
needs, so we will call you The People. The nanny, we will consider her The
Working Class. And your baby brother, we will 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 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 say's to his father, "Dad, I think I
understand the concept of politics now,"

The father says, "Great 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 "
