The problem Ian, is that you are more American than most Americans and won't admit it. Americans grumble greatly about their taxes, try to get them reduced to as little as possible, and then pay them, complaining all the while.
Your solution is to reduce your taxes to our level and then hold up Great Britain's entitlement system (which you refuse to pay for) as an example for us to follow. The concept of honor comes into play because some people find hypocrisy in your solution.
Perhaps the reason the Queen always looks so grumpy is because her subjects are taking advantage of her.
Ouch! That's painful! But.... You hit the nail on the head!
