The beauty of the American system?
Where the top one percent own 90% of all your wealth?
As for ‘dictators', your presidents act more like third world dictators these days.
For instance, your Obama family cost the US tax payer more every year than all of Europe's Royal Houses combined, the United States has such an unequal distribution of wealth that it's now in same the league of corrupt underdeveloped countries - no longer in the same league of the developed nations.
I recall in 2003, the advance team for President Bush informed Buckingham Palace that he would only be able to stay there if they took out all the windows and replaced them with blast-proof glass!
Our Queen, trying to keep a straight face, politely refused, and your poor president was forced to spend three nights in an insecure palace - must have been terrifying.
And on a one day visit to Australia, the Obama team booked 4,096 hotel rooms!
And a single night in Brussels for Mr Pretentious Obama required 387 rooms and 143 rental cars from a luxury limousine service, apart from the use of Air Force One and 45 other vehicles.
Lets face it - the USA is more an oligarchy these days than a democracy and all in all, I rather think we in Britain get away with having the advantages of good old fashioned and authentic royalty at a bargain price.
In fact, added t that, this chap believes you are now living in a police state.
You have far more ‘criminals’ in your prison system than Russia and China combined.
