If I were a British subject I would undoubtedly be a Royalist.....The Royal Family is what defines England and what England was founded on centuries ago....What country doesn't wish they had a monarchy??

@sugba2sugbo What d'you mean 'half a price'? Taxes in the US are higher than in the UK. And half the charities wouldn't do so well without the backing of the Royals.

@Herhighness202 I would've agreed with your comment up until the point where you said monarchs don't get assassinated as much as US Presidents. I assume you mean modern monarchs (1970's to present)? Otherwise, that was a pretty ignorant comment.
Anyway, yes, you're completely right about US taxpayers having to fund the president. That's why I don't understand how Republican Brits think abolishing the monarchy saves them money? Do they think the President would pay out of his own pocket?

Every person from the US that thinks we don't have to pay for our president is crazy. How do you think he gets paid?! Duh. He gets paid a lot year he is in office. The president pays for nothing it all goes on an expense account and the taxpayers pay for that. The money he gets paid he doesn't use. And he actually costs a lot and we have higher taxes than in the UK. The monarchy is okay they create a great history for countries and royals don't get assassinated as much as US Presidents.

@jaimelbourne For that reason alone I agree with you. All those who want to rid the crown, in the UK and elsewhere, don't even understand how it functions and its purpose. This is the reason why even here in the States, the Founding Fathers made sure to exclude the masses, a tradition that continues to this days, when it came to crafting institutions and drafting and amending a constitution.
The monarchy may cost the tax payers a pittance, but they bring millions into the country in tourism. Also, half of British charities would be nothing without the backing of the monarchy. I am not particularly for them, or against them, but if you're going to argue points, they should at least be argued through education, not ignorance.
