Politics from a childs point of view

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What isPolitics?'Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it thisway:I am the head of the family , so call me ThePresident.Your mother is the administrator of the money, so wecall her the Government.We are here to take care of your needs, so we willcall 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 whatDad has said.Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, sohe gets up and finds that the baby has severely soiledhis diaper.He then goes to his parent's room and finds his motherasleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to thenanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in thekeyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. Hegives up and goes back to bed.The next morning, the little boy says to his father,'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politicsnow.'The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own wordswhat you think politics is all about.'The little boy replies, 'The President is screwing theWorking Class while the Government is sound asleep.The People are being ignored and the Future is in deepshit.
