The Government through the eyes of a child.....
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the head of
the family,... so call me The President. Your mother is the administrator
of the money, so
we call her the 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. And
your baby brother,... we'll call him the Future. Now think about that and
see if it makes sense."
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what 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 the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother sound
asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room and finds his
Daddy in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, with everyone at the breakfast table, 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 President is screwing the Working Class while
the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the
Future is in deep shit.
