The royals do not earn their money, I guess in a way they do from their subjects they don't rule AND I really don't see them serving helping their people at all because they are subjects

What is the point? They rule or serve? What is it they provide to people? They get to be in this position and maintain such wealth because they were born into it? I think it's ridiculous.

No, not as long as the current regime is in power. Theocracies are always bad news ... something we should keep in mind!

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
