Politics simplified:

This little boy goes up to his dad and asks, "what is politics?" The dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it to you this way...I'm the breadwinner of the family so lets call me... "Capitalism."

Your Mom, she's the administrator of the household so we'll call her "Government." We're here to take YOUR needs, son, so we'll call you "The People." The nanny, well, she works hard all day for very little money so we'll call her "The working class."

And your baby brother.... well 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 father 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 soiled his diaper.

So the little boy goes into 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 boy says to his father, "Dad I think I understand the concept of politics now."

The father says "good son, now in your own words tell me 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.
