WHAT IS POLITICS?

From an email:

---------------------------
A young boys goes to his father and asks " What is politics?'

Dad says " Well son, let me explain it this way.... I am the breadwinner of the house, so lets call me Capitalism. Your mum, she's the administrator of the household, so we'll call her the Government.

We're here to take care of you, so let 's call you the People. And the Nanny, well she works hard all day for very little money, so we'll call her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense."

So the boy thinks about it as he is falling asleep.
In the night, he hears his baby bother crying, so he gets up to see what's wrong. He finds the baby has severely soiled his diaper.

So he goes to his parents room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to disturb her, he goes to the nanny's room, but the door is locked. Peeping through the key hole, he sees his father in bed with the nanny, so he gives up and goes back to bed.

Next morning he tells his father he thinks he understands the concept of politics.

" Really?" says his dad,surprised!! " that was quick. Tell me, in your own words what do you think politics is all about."

The young boy replies " Well, while Capitalism is screwing the WorkingClass, the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit!!".
