It’ll be funny to see how this is brushed off my public around the world, but once figures come out highlighting the benefits President Bush receives then all Hell breaks out! But that’s cool, I like it when people are unfair, judgemental and selective in who they bash and who they support, one of the things I’ve come to expect around here in Europe. Even more so in such a homogenous society like Finland. Raising the issue of who receives these kinds of benefits such as the one the Queen got is a great thing to display to the public, but some how I feel certain cultures won’t give a damn.

Much of the Royal family get a huge amount of money via European subs, it only since the Freedom of Infomation Act (which was only passed this year!) that we can know this.

I guess you mean $1.3 million (not billion).

Why would anybody assume that the royal family is pro-free markets and anti-subsidies? They’ve been living off of state subsidies forever.

I guess you mean $1.3 million (not billion).

Heh, you’re right!! But Reason had the mistake and wrote “billion”
