What's Politics?

A kid went his dad and asked; "Dad, what's politics?"
"Well son",
replied the dad, "I shall try to put it like this. I am the bread winner of our family. So call me capitalism. Your mom is doing the administration with what I earn and, so call her the government. We are doing it for your betterment, so think you as the people. We have our servant-made to assist us and let's call her the working class. Your little brother is here and let's call him the future. Now think on it and make a sense yourself."
The dad and the boy went to bed. While sleeping the boy heard the loud cry of his brother. He rose from the bed and went to look him. In the parents bed room he saw his brother in a mess of dirt and the mom in sound sleep. The boy tried to wake her up but of no use. He then went to call the servant-maid but her door was closed with light inside. He looked through the key-hole and found his dad in bed with her. He returned hopelessly back to his bed.
Next day morning the boy went to his dad and said.
"Dad, I think I got some idea about what politics is."
"Good my boy.." said the dad,
"Come on tell me."
The boy replied:
"While capitalism is screwing the working class, the Government is fast asleep. The people are being ignored and the future is in deep shit."
