64. British taxpayers pay about 62p each per year, according to an article
I read. Whether the figure is exact or not I don't know, but considering the majority of them seem to want to keep their monarchy, that amount seems pretty reasonable when you consider the tourism dollars, jobs, money generated for all the good causes they support. What crimes have the modern-day monarchs in Britain committed?

I also read we in Canada contribute a buck-fifty per person, per year towards the Royal family. No skin of my arse ... I like em and believe they do much more good than harm.
