Government of the people, for the people and by the people.


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 bread winner of the family, so let’s call me capitalism. Your mom, she’s the administrator of the money so well 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 make sense. So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later, that might he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has sorted his diaper, so he little boy goes to his parents room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to 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 understand the concept of politics now”.

The father says; “God son tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about”.

The little boy replies “Well, white capitalism is screening the working class, the Government is sound asleep, the people are being ignored and the future is in deep shit.
