Humpty Dumpty was a libertarian

Wasn't he?

He defined words as he pleased and if contradicted, cried: The Dictionary is merely a Tyranny of the Majority!

All the king's horses and all the king's men are probably the only thing that Humpty would have approved of his taxes being spent on. The rest of the taxation would be seen by him as nothing other than theft from those, like him, who just want to be free to sit on their own wall, to be handed out to parasitical eggs who don't have walls or who are not willing to take the risk of having a great fall from one.

Wonder if Humpty Dumpty was financially able to pay for his own medical treatment after his accident?

Why do think he jumped off the wall? His medicare benefits had just been canceled....

Humpty Dumpty was pushed by big government after they found out he was planning to teach people how to build their own wall without government assistance.

Maybe 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!"

If Humpty accepted taxation maybe he'd have health insurance instead of a cravat and a useless government that hires only knights.

Yeah but haven't you ever had a knight out on the town?

Omelet.

He was an omelet, not a libertarian.

If you read the fine print you'll see that his private insurer was a pernicious HMO that only allowed him to be operated on my horses.

I hope your horses will hold still during the operation...
