Son: "Dad, I have to do a special report for school. Can I ask you a question?"
Father: "Sure son. What's the question?"

Son: "What is politics?"

Father: "Well, let's take our home for example. I am the wage earner,
so let's call me "Capitalism". Your mother is the administrator
of money, so we'll call her "Government". We take care of
your needs, so we'll call you "The People". We'll call the maid
"The Working Class", and your baby brother we can call "The
Future". "Do you understand, Son?"

Son: "I'm not really sure, Dad. I'll have to think about it".
That night, awakened by his baby brother's crying, the boy went
to see what was wrong. Discovering that the baby had seriously
soiled his diaper, the boy went to his parent's room and found his
mother sound asleep. He went to the maid's room, where, peeking
through the keyhole, he saw his father in bed with the maid.
The boy's knocking went totally unheeded by his father and the
maid, so the boy returned to his room and went back to sleep.

The next morning he reported to his father. "Dad, now I think I
understand what politics is".

Father: "Good son! Can you explain it to me in your own words?"

Son: "Well Dad, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class,
Government is sound asleep, the People are being completely
ignored and the future is full of shit".
