What is Politics?
A little girl goes to her dad and asks, "What is
politics?" Dad says "Well daughter, let me try to
explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the
family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mom, she'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 consider
her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll
call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if
that makes sense."
So the little girl goes off to bed thinking about what
Dad has said. Later that night, she hears her baby
brother crying, so she gets up to check on him. She
finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little girl goes to her parents' room and finds
her mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, she
goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, she
peeks in the keyhole and sees her father in bed with
the nanny. She gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little girl says to her father,
"Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good daughter, tell me in your own
words what you think politics is all about."
The little girl replies, "Well, while Capitalism is
screwing the Working Class, The Government is sound
asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future
is in deep do-do!"
