Understanding government and politics ,(Humor)

I get these frequently, this one from “What’s Funny Today. Makes it
Clear to me. Enjoy!
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, “What is politics?”
Dad says, “Well son, let me 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, we’ll call her Government. We’re here to take care of your needs, so we’ll call you the people. The nanny, we’ll consider her 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 shit.”
Clear to me. Enjoy!

'Not sure how 'capitalism' is screwing the working class??????? And why should you? As a retired employee of the government, you have reaped the benefits of socialism!!!!

Take it with a wink and a nod, Chief. After all, it is humor.
