        Is it tax money, or money he was paid then he is paying out?

        I mean its a technical difference and I am not really defending anything, I just don’t know how it works really.

          The King owns land called the crown estate. He surrenders the profit to the treasury who then pays him back a small fraction of, which he also pays tax on.

          The King does not get funded by tax money, just a small portion of what his family’s land makes.

              Such a proposition is unrealistic. It’s his family’s land, he’s the heir. At least he surrenders it to the government, unlike most land-owners.

                It’s his family’s land, he’s the heir.

                His family has avoided inheritance tax for centuries. It’s totally realistic. Look at all the Republican countries.

                Communist and anti-colonialist land reforms show that such a proposition is not unrealistic at all you are just a bootlicker monarchist.

                    China is currently on track to beat the west at its own game, and this is post maoist land reform. So regardless of whether you believe China is communist or not, their land reform has functioned perfectly well and has produced a system that is at least as functional as what we have in the west.

      You mean only entitlement can pass by bloodline and not consequences of crime? Yeah, totally makes sense.

      They didn’t do anything to earn it either…why the hell should a pedophile be allowed to steal money from everyone else to keep his family living in luxury forever?

        There is no evidence to suggest that Charles III is a paedophile. If you need to lie and slander to support your argument, you don’t have one to begin with.

          They’re Andrews daughters, no one mentioned Charles. But also fuck that whole family, they all should have been executed a long time ago.

            Bro chill the fuck out, because the King had the balls to kick him out! What USA did for it’s pedophiles? Did they kicked anyone out? Did they arrest them?
            We should have executed Trump and it’s friends long time ago then.

              Not because he was a pedophile, because the family has been stealing and pillaging from the rest of humanity for generations. And yeah, trump and all the other billionaires can join them as far as I’m concerned.
