Theft is theft, no matter the percentage. That you think the government doesn’t spend wisely has nothing to do whatsoever with the fact that a commonwealth consisting of 25% of the world’s population continues to legitimize an institution which thrives on ill-gotten wealth.
Take the queen’s money and set it on fire, or give it back piecemeal to the colonists that were exploited. In any case, burn it all down, because it has no place in the democratic world.
- helloworld11 4y agoOh please. Your hyperbole not only completely misses the point of my post above, it's also useless for actually, realistically solving the problem of the Royal Family's wealth generating methods being legitimized. Short of some extreme revolutionary shift in British politics (or European politics in general) nobody is going to suddenly take everything the royals have and "burn it all down". It wouldn't even have legal standing under the most flexible terms, because not all the wealth of all royals is based on illegitimate activities or ownership structures. And again, what about vast government revenue generation, taxation systems and the things they often get spent on? These absolutely do have relevance to any discussion about tax percentages, policies and how wealthy people are treated by the systems they operate in.
