I feel that its not about who pays their taxes voluntarily or is funded from the civil list. To me its about the principle that certain people enjoy elevated status simply because of who their parents were, taking into account that much of what the parents "Own" was acquired by force and gunboat diplomacy. I once knew someone who had worked as a servant in a royal household (Charlie I think0 and they were left in no doubt that these people believed that they were a different species put on this earth to rule over us mere mortals. There probably isn't a solution other than civil unrest and uprising but I am too old for that now
