Politics Explained
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 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 boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had 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 parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding 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, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep poo."
Note to LoBornLytesThoughtPalace: This is called "humor," just like the last one. I know it is a difficult concept but please try to understand it before posting here.

Change the dad's name to "Politician", and it would be much, much more accurate. Capitalism leads to wealth for the working class. Many of the wealthy started as dirt poor.
An oldie but goodie.
I'm interested in Alatariel40's belief in the myth of "rags to riches". How many of the current billionaires started as "dirt poor"? Can you name one? OK, how about millionaires? [disclaimer: I'm one of those - started solidly in the upper-middle class as did most of my friends - the others inherited wealth]I'm giggling.
@Alatariel40 - True.
hey stranger -- look 2 of here around the same time --what are the odds? hope all's good out there
I agree with @Alatariel40 - our problems are not with capitalism.
You have a great blog I think
