I’m sure the royals believe they are above the law, just like our elected elites. I’ll respect Congress when they live under the same Social Security and healthcare as the rest of us.

They earn $175,000 a year. There is no reason for the public to pay them one more thin dime. Nor is there any reason to continue paying for benefits for any previous member of congress, nor any appointed officials. These are not terms of employment - they were either elected or select to their positions. They can pay their own way.

Oh, and I'm all for an immediate refund of any contributions they've made to any retirement or benefits program. A pittance compared to their yearly embezzlement of public funds.
