Lack of Royal Families in the U.S brings down unity, family ties, and nationalism?

[ramoo]

The other day I was thinking how unlike England we the United States don't have a royal family that we pay taxes for. Yes we have the presidents family, but thats kind of different because after his term we don't really consider much of them.

I was thinking about how the lack of a royal family could be a role model for individualism and weak family relationships. Do you think that one way the United States could bring up its nationalism is if we establish a royal family? What would be our criteria? What do you think the are the effects of this absent entity in the US?

I think a concept like a royal family would make people keep stronger family connections and more honor amongst one another. It might also instill a nationalistic sense once people can begin to brag about how their royal family is better then theirs. Thoughts?

What does America need to "bring up its nationalism" for?

Are some citizens starting to fail in their mindless duty towards patriotism?

The whole idea is impossible.

You cannot just establish a royal family out of thin air.

Americans naturally don't trust our gov't.

And that is what makes us fundamentally different than our European cousins.

We have never been subjected to autocracy or totalitarianism. (Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon, Cromwell, etc.)

Royal families are the epitome of absolute rule. Americans don't put up with that crap (and will never).

US taxes -> unnecessary government procurements -> overpaid government contractors owned by the ruling elite -> dividends, wages, and bonuses to America's royalty.
