Is a monarchy good for democracy?

5. Only A Symbol

The UK monarchy is really only just a symbol with little real power. They are a nice ornament to Britain for tourisms sake. They ended up practicing the same kind of "tinkle down" economics that we have been pursuing for over 30 years now. The biggest difference is that they started in a better place with health care and social services. Now Cameron and the conservatives (Tories ie US Republicans are pushing austerity because of debt they caused in the first place.

I see no advantage with monarchy in any form. In a way we have an unofficial monarchy. The billionaires and millionaires are like the monarchs and nobles except they do not have a title. Citizens United was a coup by the rich. It may have taken 30 years to create their form of "economic" monarchy, but they seem to have it now.

The gated communities they live in are the modern day castles that the "new rich aristocracy" inhabit. The 99% are outside of that castle. The rest of us are just peasants. Romney would be King Romney I if he is elected.
