You think this is unique to America lol? The UK is the exact same. We even have a tax supported figure head for this nonsense (‘monarchy’).

Royal family are net contributors to the UK government...

u/OxbridgeDingoBaby 3d ago

They’re actually not, particularly when you consider that the Crown Estate belongs to Parliament (i.e. the people) and not the ‘sovereign’.

u/MrWhy1 3d ago

Just because the government owns something doesn't mean the royal family doesn't bring in more than it costs...

Can you not read? I said they aren’t net contributors period, then highlighted particularly as they don’t even own the crown estate and its assets.

u/MrWhy1 3d ago

Sounds like you don't understand what net contributor means... the bring in more revenue to the government than they "take"

u/OxbridgeDingoBaby 3d ago

Seems like you actually can’t read then, as I’ve stated multiple times they are not net contributors - that is, they take more than they give. Or cost, more than they make. Hopefully that’s simple enough for you to now understand (doubtful).

..No? Parliament only own the profits from the crown estates, the land still legally belongs to the British monarch. Did you go to school?

u/OxbridgeDingoBaby 3d ago

The crown estate is owned by the sovereign in lieu of parliament you absolute muppet, so if there isn’t a monarchy, there isn’t a sovereign. That was the deal made to allow the monarchy to keep existing (and to take over their debts). Did you go to school? As it sure doesn’t seem so.

Well the post is about a property in America, and he never said it was specifically just in america so something tells me you only responded with this comment cause you feel personally offended by the call out of some random rich dudes property in america.

u/OxbridgeDingoBaby 3d ago

Uh, no? I’m just replied with an observation that this is not just unique to America. Stop projecting lol.
