Chris_Sleeps Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 What do you think the Queen has been doing all her life and is still doing at the age of 86? A job, for which she is very well paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 No one should have to pay inheritance tax, it's a horrible tax. They tax you whilst you earn the money, then just by the simple act of dying the government thinks it's entitled to tax it again. It's insane.

donkey Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 What do you think the Queen has been doing all her life and is still doing at the age of 86? You will also find that most other members of the Royal family are involved with businesses, government services, charities and/or have served at some point in the armed forces. Yes, the Queen is heavily involved in 'Save the Sycophants.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 A job, for which she is very well paid. Im sure she is. But she also generates and pays in about £200m income into the public purse from the crown estates and other assets. Her personal wealth albeit massive to us is nothing compared to some other people in the country. She was at postition 245 in the Rich List last year. Wonder how hard the other 244 people above her are working for their money. Wonder how many of them will still be working at 86 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles must have been in every War from 1950 onwards if the medals on his chest are owt to go on. ---------- Post added 06-01-2013 at 19:56 ---------- Im sure she is.

Only 245 out of 60 million however do they manage in these times of we are all in it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crown Estate isn't hers. It belongs to the abstract entity of "The Crown". She has no claim to land stolen by William the Conqueror. However, my problem is not with her wealth. It is with her getting a job based on which womb she popped out of. She's very qualified of coming out of a womb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
