If elected King of the USA, Kevin High wants to eliminate the income tax and offer lump-sum Social Security checks.

Not saying the guy doesn’t have some decent ideas but HELL NO! The USA should never have a “King”...only one man has been offered the post and George Washington was wise enough to decline. Way too much power to put in the Hands of a Few men or one man.....

It would give Barry someone new to bow to.

High believes the nation as it is today encourages its citizens to suckle the federal entitlement teat. "The programs of keeping people who barely graduated high school to keeping people where there is no motivation to succeed, by giving housing, by giving welfare, by giving food stamps, giving, giving, giving. There's no motivation to get out of that," he says. "On top of that, our deficit is so significantly out of whack that we can't do it much longer. There is going to be a point in time where our debt is so great that we're literally going to have to forgive debt that we've already lent to ourselves."

I think Mr. High....is HIGH ON SOMETHING!!!

We already have a king.

Harry Reid’s been king for 6 years.
He would be pretty harsh on any competition. Can this guy afford heavy personal security?

High? Interesting name for a royal dynasty.

We’ve already had an emperor so why not.

The Democrats by attempting to change this country from a democracy to a socialist regime have given the dissidents even other ideas...

[Boogieman]

If he’s too stupid to compute that kings are not elected, let alone that we don’t have one in the USA, then he would be completely unqualified for the position, even if it did exist.

Be careful what you ask for. Remember, Barney Frank is the queen of America.

If elected King of the USA, Kevin High wants to

Arthur: Elected??!? You don't vote for a king!
Woman:	Well 'ow'd you become king then?
(holy music up)
Arthur: The Lady of the Lake-- her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite,
	held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by
	divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.  THAT is why
	I am your king!
Man:	(laughingly) Listen: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords
	is no basis for a system of government!  Supreme executive power
	derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical
	aquatic ceremony!
Arthur: (yelling) BE QUIET!
Man:	You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some
	watery tart threw a sword at you!!
Arthur: (coming forward and grabbing the man) Shut *UP*!
Man:	I mean, if I went 'round, saying I was an emperor, just because some
	moistened bink had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
Arthur: (throwing the man around) Shut up, will you, SHUT UP!
Man:	Aha!  Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: SHUT UP!
Man:	(yelling to all the other workers) Come and see the violence inherent
	in the system!	HELP, HELP, I'M BEING REPRESSED!
Arthur: (letting go and walking away)  Bloody PEASANT!
Man:	Oh, what a giveaway!  Did'j'hear that, did'j'hear that, eh?  That's
	what I'm all about!  Did you see 'im repressing me?  You saw it,
	didn't you?!

Why not Emperor?
Surely he can find SOME way to claim succession to Emperor Norton?
