1: Redistribution of wealth? Wealth is earned or inherited - your redistribution is that just another hand-out or is it done the old fashioned way by working for it?

2: If you are fully entitled under law to own what you own and so am I - then it naturally follows on that the likes of the Duke of Westminster is fully entitled to own what he owns - if you wish to "suck your teeth" in envious outrage then more fool you.

In yet another display of complete and utter ignorance you seem to think that:

a: Charles owns Cornwall - he doesn't - He is the Duke of Cornwall

Established in 1337, the duchy was created with the express purpose of providing income to the heir apparent to the throne; thus, it traditionally goes to the eldest son of the reigning monarch. Although the duke owns the income from the estate, he does not own the estate outright and does not have the right to sell capital assets for his own benefit.

In 2010, the duchy generated £17.1 million in income. As the Duke of Cornwall is not a subject of the Queen he is not legally required to pay income tax [18 The National Archives LO 3/467, Duchy of Cornwall – Land Tax and Valuation, 1913, see also My Queen and I, Willie Hamilton, 1975 p. 217]. However, since 1993 Prince Charles has voluntarily agreed to pay income tax at the normal rates (see: Finances of the British Royal Family). Approximately half of this income was spent on public and charitable works.

WOW half spent on public and charitable works eh? what a bastard - More on the tax side of things tax:

"As a crown body, the duchy is exempt from paying corporation tax. Since 1993, the Prince of Wales has voluntarily paid income tax at the normal rates. The Prince paid a voluntary contribution to the treasury of 50% of his Duchy income from the time he became eligible for its full income at the age of 21 in 1969, and paid 25% from his marriage in 1981 until the current arrangement commenced in 1993. Tax is calculated after deducting business expenditure, the biggest source of which is the Prince's staff of about 110 who assist with his performance of official duties, including private secretaries and a valet working in his office at Clarence House and at Highgrove House. Detailed records are kept to determine the split between official and private expenditure."

2: The Queen owns what she owns which amounts to the estates of Sandringham and Balmoral, both bought and paid for by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert - that is right Big Al bought and paid for just as I bought my house - yet you seem to think I should not have that right and that I own my house by some form of theft.

This "black card tax" set you refer to - you mean the likes of comedian Jimmy Carr and other great luminaries of the stage and screen, how do our pop stars and othe so-called celebrities weigh in with regard to tax avoidance schemes - made millions how much tax did John Lennon pay? That great champion of Scottish Independence Shirr Shhawn Connery - took the knighthood and over the course of our working lives I can bet that I have paid more in tax to the UK Government than he has.

Take a good look at the changing face of Great Britain over the last 300 years the ONE single group that has fallen, and fallen mightily, has been the "aristocracy". Still Al don't let facts or the truth get in the way of a "good socialist MYTH", or downright lie.

The contributions of - The Crown Estate - The Duchy of Lancaster - The Duchy of Cornwall - are all a matter of public record and are very, very well scrutinised and audited.
