I don't begrudge anyone any money. I don't care how much anyone earns, genuinely. I have always felt this way and recent events for me have simply underscored my disinterest in acquisition for its own sake. But I do resent and refute any families claim to privilege based solely on genetics! I also think BarryWs post is a little disingenuous to say the least and will, against medical advice, take it with a shovel of salt!! Those "treasures" that apparently fund themselves already belong to us and following your argument would on their own bring in the tourists the royal family and their hangers-on trot out as their raison d'etre. However Royalists present their case, I cannot see how much my life and that of the country is improved by the existence of the royals that couldn't be achieved in a better, more affirming way. We get a lot of flak on here for defending religious beliefs, but this seems to me to rank up there with the potentially delusional and just as (economically and morally) destructive belief systems! No disrespect intended (or overlooked....)
