I thought about posting this in the Humor category, but since it relates to politics, it just fits right here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This little boy goes to his Dad and asks, "What is politics?" Dad
says, "Well, son let me try to explain it to you this way... I'm the
breadwinner of the family, so let's call me 'Capitalism'.
Your Mom, she's the administrator of the household, 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, well, she works hard all day for very little money, so
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 his 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 into 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."
