How Much Does The Royal Family Cost?

How Much Does The Royal Family Cost?


How much does the Royal Family cost us? People will only see the negative side to how much the Royal Family costs the public because of the state our country is in. Our financial prospects are not bright, so it makes others become negative when money is involved that is being supposedly wasted in their eyes. For years the public and press have slated the Royal Family for them spending public money on travel and clothing etc... But is it really all that bad? Don't we like to see our Monarchy going abroad casting our names in stone and setting a prime example of our royalty in the Middle East or the West? I guess I do even though I am not a Royalist. 

The Royal Family brings our country together at times of celebration such as the Queen's Jubilee or the death of a Family member such as Dianna. In times like these we put of differences behind each other and celebrate the unity of our country. Some are patriotic and others are not, but we still have a little bit of pride of what we stand for and the country we live in, even if it isn't the best place to be in our current predicament. Whilst the cost of bills, the price of petrol, the price of food and housing is becoming higher it's getting harder for the common person to live in the current climate. The press strive to slate the Royal Family at times like these, but who should we really be slating? People living of benefits with 10 kids? People faking illness just to get benefits? The Olympics? Who knows. But slating the one true thing to our country is not going to help.

Whilst money is tight and the banks are crashing around us money is like a God. Money controls us like a puppet by their puppet master. As to say without Money the world would become a hellish playground for the needy. Since having a Royal Family money has always been a wonder. The Queens current expenditure is around £32.3 million ( 2010 - 2011 ) Records are around £32.4m - £32.5m this year. If we look at the figures it does seem like a massive take on how much of the tax payer's money is used to fund the Royal Family. The Queen makes our country unique and loved. Whilst flying around the world to show face to other world leaders it makes others from around the world want to visit the U.K. to absorb our natural beauty and historic agriculture that our country offers. This will bring in an income for beyond the figures that the Royal Family spends. So... Should we be slating the Royal Family? 

Every year we fund the EU a lot more than the Royal Family costs and where does that leave us? Poor. They take our pants down and rape our banks for everything we have and the Tax Payers pay for it. Unfair and cruel is what I call it, but we have to be hurt before we can rebuild our country to restore it back to how it once was. 

To solve the problem...

First - Those that have more than 2 Children should be taxed, as they do in China.
This will stop young mothers/fathers having children just so they claim benefits for each child and live of the government. But doesn't that effect those that want more than 2 children that are not living on benefits? Well it can do, but is not up to those that want more than 2 children to fund the tax to have another knowing that they do have money seeing as they're not on benefits. 

Second - Sort the government out. Rather than going all political and having a party such as  Labour, Conservatives or Lib Dems why don't we have people in charge that put the people's needs before their own and make them stop bickering about who has the best plans such as benefit cuts or EMA cuts etc... We just need people in charge that put their differences behind them and sort out what mess has been created.

Finally - We need to stop being a corrupt and greedy nation. A helping hand is something that goes a miss now and again in this country and we need to sort it out and become a thriving community just like it once was back in the War.

Just like the American President Ronald Reagan once said " We often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us realize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, IS NOT AN ALIEN FORCE ALREADY AMONG US?"
