Sure, I also wish monarchies are cut of the tax payers spigot.
But why are you making this such a big point of having a rich old white dick getting preferential treatment? I thought you loved that shit in the USA. I thought the AMERICAN dream is to become a rich old white dick to get that sweet preferential (tax) treatment. To get your rich old white children get the same benefits through generational wealth.
Be mad that in the EU people can pay for both a rich old white dude play a monarch and socialized healthcare. While ever time you try and do something similar all the old white dicks crawl out of the woodwork to tell "HoW cAn We EvEr PaY fOr ThAt?!"
The UK... Isn't... In the EU tho? For some (Russian) oligarch tax haven purposes to my understanding?
I didn't claim it was. There are other countries with old white rich dicking monarchs and also have socialized healthcare, you buffoon.
But we're talking about the UK monarchy specifically right? I wonder what the scandanavian monarchs for example are up to. & don't get me wrong, the American political elite, at least a lot of them cough Republicans cough absolutely have the mentality of neonobility.
That kind of psychology and predisposition is something I hope is stamped out or at least vindicated by most of society. Be the change you want to see in the world:)
