Just got this email:

Little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What are Politics?"

Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the head
of the family, so they call me the President. Your mother is the
administrator of the money, so call her Government. We're here to
take care of your needs, so we'll call you The People. The nanny,
we'll consider her the Working Class. Your little baby brother,
we'll call him the Future. Now think about it and see if it make
sense."

So the little boy goes to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he heard his little brother crying, so he gets up to
check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother
asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room and finds the
Door locked, he peeks in 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, "The Presidents is screwing the Working Class
while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and The
Future is in Deep Shit."
