A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What are Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
1. I'm the head of the family, so call me President.
2. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so call her the
Government.
3. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People.
4. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class.
5. Your baby brother, we'll call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad 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 parent's 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 this 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 litte boy
replies:
"The President is screwing the Working Class,
While the Government is sound asleep.
The People are being ignored
And the Future is in deep shit!"

I think this pretty well sums it up.

Now, how can we bust that door down, drag out Dad and hold him and 'her' accountable. When we figure that out, we'll be empowered, instead of hapless bystanders. I'm ready.
