A little boy came home from school one day and said to his father, 
"Dad, what can you tell me about politics?  I have to learna bout 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 
capitalism 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 and you will be the people because you 
answer to us.  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 
woken up by his 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.  Because he coudln't do anything else, he 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, the 
government is sound asleep ignoring the people and that the future's full 
of shit."
