Nothing to say grayfox well here is some more Dont forget their huge indirect golden goose: tourists. Annoying though they might be to the locals by blocking the tube and refusing to stand on the right, they dump buckets of money on the UK to see the sights, travel ludicrously short distances by public transport, and generally act silly a long way from home. Sure not everything they come to see is royal, but the most expensive stuff is. And who are the biggest spenders? The Yanks. After theyve finished buying maple syrup and cheap, pharmaceuticals, Tijuanaian professional services and illegal pharmaceuticals, where do they go next? The United Kingdom. Americans fly across an ocean to see a land filled with Castles that arent plastic. And why do the Americans think Frances castles are so boring and stinky and the UKs castles so awesome? Because real monarchs still use them. The tower of London is so stunning to visitors because the Royal Crest on the Yeomen Warders Uniform is real. Its not a lame historical re-enactment or modern LARPing. Its the embodiment of the living, breathing queen. Everywhere you look shes sprinkled fairy dust on banal objects to make them magically attractive to tourists. 12 million of whom visit every year spending 7,000 million pounds. Which suddenly makes those direct profits look like rather small change. But perhaps you dont care than the monarchs are a perpetual GOLD MINE for the UK. Youre a Republican and you dislike like the royal family because of their political power. After all, the government gets all its right to rule through the crown, not the people.

Its all over the front pages because people are interested and as far as the online porn goes people can simply opt in if they want it well that is whats the freaking problem with people, being interested in the most utmost rubbish, the Royal family suck the money out of Britain and don't give 2 fvcks about its entire population The cost to maintain the royal family today is 40 million pounds per year. But the revenue paid to the UK from the royal lands is 200 million. 200 million in revenue subtract 40 million in salary costs equals 160 million pounds in profit. Thats right: The United Kingdom earns 160 million pounds in profit, every year from the Royal Family Please with a little effort you could prove not to be so ignorant
I don't doubt it, but short of a full revolt the people have no power in america to cause change.

America could easily rise up against the elite, it's just that knowbody is bothered, you are all in a enslaved system working from monday to friday, pay cheque to pay cheque, drinking away your life forgeting what happened the night before and how meaningless it all was, all the while your government gets away with whatever it wants. 80%of the usa is too busy fighting over the ever decreasing scraps of wealth the elite allow them to have

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"][QUOTE="EmpCom"][QUOTE="Nibroc420"] Put it this way. You cannot force someone who religiously saves every dollar to spend their money. And you cannot force someone who is irreponsible to be responsible with their money. People will do what they do. None of that has relevance to the topic Sure it does. Those who decide to be financially responsible, and tell themselves "No matter how much i want those $150 pre-faded jeans, these $40 jeans will fade in time". To avoid any excess spending. Will always be better off than those who choose to overspend because "They'll pay for it later" Yeah because all those on minimum wage are worried about jeans not their rent etc but jeans
[QUOTE="Nibroc420"][QUOTE="EmpCom"][QUOTE="Nibroc420"] Group A spends money as soon as they get it. Group B spends only what they have to, and keeps the rest. Over the course of 10-15 years, who is going to retain more of the money they've earned throughout their lifetime? Who is going to have more, to invest in more things, resulting in more return? And who will still be spending money as soon as they get it? Ohh ffs put it this way the size of the pot for most is constantly getting smaller and we all know what happens then Put it this way.
