Definition of politics
A small boy asks his dad "What is politics?" The dad explains "Well son, let me explain it this way. I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me "Capitalism." Your mom's the administrator of the 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 call "The Working Class." And your baby brother, we'll call him The "Future."
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what his dad 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 severely soiled his diaper. So he 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 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 "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about." The little boy replies "Well, while Capitalism is is screwing The Working Class, The Government is sleeping, The People are being ignored, and The Future is in deep shit."
