Ridiculous
You want us to compare a ceremonial throne to a super power Presidency? The Royals controlled revenue, what did they put into it? Just their infrastructure (ie Buckingham Palace etc) is an excess. Since I'm assuming youre a part year resident of both, the Sovereign Grant (taxpayers) isn't a miniscule line item for residents. All of which there is no election and today it remains ceremonial in practice. The fact that you want to compare the two shows you have a limited understanding of how each 'office' actually impacts its citizens.
