A son asks his father, "What can you tell me about
politics? I have to learn about it for school tomorrow."
The father thought some and said, "OK, son, the best
way I can describe politics is to use an analogy.
Let's say that I'm a capitalist because I'm the
breadwinner.
Your mother will be the government because she
controls everything, our maid will be the working
class because she works for us, you will be the people
because you answer to us, and your baby brother will
be the future. Does that help any?"
The little boy said, "Well, Dad, I don't know, but I'll
think about what you said."
Later that night, after everyone had gone to bed, the
little boy was awaken by his baby brother's crying.
Upon further investigation, he found a dirty diaper.
So, he went down the hall to his parent's bedroom
and found his father's side of the bed empty and his
mother wouldn't wake up. Then he saw a light on in
the guest room down the hall, and when he reached
the door, he saw through the crack that his father
was in bed with the maid. The son then turned and
went back to bed.
The next morning, he said to his father at the
breakfast table, "Dad, I think I understand politics
much better now."
"Excellent, my boy," he answered, "What have you
learned?"
The little boy thought for a minute and said, "I
learned that capitalism is screwing the working class,
government is sound asleep ignoring the people, and
the future's full of crap."
