![Someone isn't happy with the Queen [1569x1080 - 230KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/kZtmpZ.jpg){kind=link}
Britain’s true welfare queen. 24 council houses/palaces paid for by the taxpayer, never done a days work in her life but lives high on the hog on taxpayer funds, now even has the family marrying nogs and appearing on America’s Jeremy Kyle.
If I recall correctly, the British royal family owns a bunch of land and collects rent on them - but there is some kind of agreement there with the rest of the government, where the collected rent goes to the government instead, and pays to maintain the royal family.
I think it actually winds up where they are a net gain for the country. Something about like a third of the rent paid to them is in corn rents, or equivalent value, and turns out that that is like a huge revenue stream these days.
Wonder how the royal family ended up with all that land.
Some watery tart threw a scimitar at her ancestor.
Rent seekers are just posh welfare sponges. Who produces the wealth: the tenant farmer who farms the land or the landlord who owns the land?
