What is Politics?
[SIZE=+1]A young boy asked his Dad, "What is politics? Dad says, "Well son, let me explain it this way. [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]I'm the breadwinner so lets call me[/SIZE][SIZE=+1] Capitalism[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Government[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]. We're here to take care of your needs so we'll call you the [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]People[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]. The Nanny we'll call the W[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]orking [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Class[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]. Let's call your baby brother the [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Future[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]. Now think about that and see if it makes sense.

[SIZE=+1]So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad said. Later that night he hears his baby brother crying so he gets up to check on him and finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]
[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]The boy goes to 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 through the keyhole and finds his father in bed with the Nanny. He then gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand politics now".
Father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about".
The boy replies, "While [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Capitalism[/SIZE][SIZE=+1] is screwing the [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Working Class[/SIZE][SIZE=+1], the [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Government[/SIZE][SIZE=+1] is sound asleep, the [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]People[/SIZE][SIZE=+1] are being ignored, and the [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Future[/SIZE][SIZE=+1] is in deep shit."[/SIZE]
