Long Live the King of America!

[Wilbur]

It's not the royal family part, it's the being governed by a monarch that would be disliked. No one really has anything against the British royal family. Unless somebody read something in a tabloid, scrouge of media that they are.

king george is george strait, one of the best country singers there are, but yes we have king george and he's plenty for me

Knowing there is the potential to end up with a King Billy-Joe-Bob in this country, I say just leave the democratic republic intact. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

They pay taxes here like everyone else. Now they don't get a share of Britians income. They get some for making public appearances. I really don't see the problem in having a royal family, after all, I bet some soccer players get payed more than them.[/QUOTE]They pay taxes ? How ? Theír income is being paid by the taxpayers. At least it is overhere. We have dozens of so called princes and princesses all traveling around the globe. Party here, gala there, i really don't see the use in this. It's all taxpayers money, just like the wedding of our crownprince a short while ago. They actually had the guts to ask the Dutch people to come up with a collective gift for a wedding present. Sure i'll donate.... i needed to go to the bathroom anyway.

Originally posted by Evil Al: This of course is a load of rubbish. But what do you think? Would America be a better place if it was a monarchy? Would you like to see it as a monarchy like we brits have (no power but the tourists love it.) Or an all powerful ruler of the country that the only way to get rid of him is to kill him. Do you think its would be easier than all the talking round in circles that democratic governments do?

Evil Al - please think before you post dangerous rubbish like this. If the US had it's own monarchy they would have no reason to pay good money to see ours!
