Humpty Dumpty was a libertarian
Originally posted by FMFMaybe if Humpty had advocated a more effective and larger government rather than opposing all forms of government, the King would have had better paid, more numerous and more talented horses and men, and maybe, just maybe, they could then have put Humpty together again.

Actually, I think of an old political cartoon when I think of supply side economics, now that the investing classes are sitting on a record amount of spending power.
The king says to his advisers: "Gentlemen, the fact that all my horses and all my men can't put him together again simply means I need more horses and more men!"
