A Child's View Of Politics

This 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 breadwinner of the family, so lets call me capatilism. Your mum, she's the administrator of money, 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, 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 any sense."

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what his dad has said. Later that night the baby brother was crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that he has severly soiled his nappies. So he goes to his parents room and finds his mother fast asleep. Not wanting to disturb her he goes to the Nanny's room. Finding the door locked he peeps through 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, "Go on son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."

The little boy replies, "Well while capatilism is screwing the working class, the government is asleep, the people are being ignored and the future is in deep shit!"
