A Special Report for School

Son: "Dad, I have to write a special report for school, but I don't know what Politics is."

Father: "Well, let's take our home as an example. I am the bread-winner, so let's call me Capitalism. Your mom is the administrator of money, so we'll call her Government. We take care of your needs, so let's call you the People. We'll call the maid the Working Class, & your younger brother we can call the Future. Do you understand, son?"

Son: "I'm not really sure, Dad. I'll have to think about it."

That night, awakened by his younger brother's crying, the boy went to see what was wrong. Discovering that the baby had seriously soiled his diaper, the boy went to his parent's room & found his mother sound asleep. He went to the maid's room, where, peeking through the keyhole, he saw his father in bed with the maid. The boy's knocking went totally unheeded by his father & the maid. So the boy returned to his room & went back to sleep.

The next morning he reported to his father.

Son: "Dad, now I think I understand what Politics is."

Father: "Good son! Can you explain it to me in your own words?"

Son: "Well Dad, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, Government is sound asleep, the People are being completely ignored & the Future is full of shit."
