The system was structured on the old British monarchy model. But now the debate has moved on to weather it should be a more 'socialized' funding, a tax on everyone because we enjoy the outside and hunting and fishing.
I live out west and hell, you can't even kayak with out paying to park your car along a river bank anymore.
It won't surprise me if they actually tax human life because of the CO2 we exhale.
Next, the beautiful places in the world are being bought up and made off limits by rich snob SOBs who have made their billions and want to move to a more relaxing setting, like T. Turner, T. Brokaw, J. Buffett et al.
They buy up the most and the best and look at the rest of us like we don't deserve to have access to the country we've been living in our entire lives.
Once they are comfortable in their new homes (usually over 8000 sq ft) they begin to uses their money to influence local city councils and demand new laws restricting access and other none sense.
These pseudo 'country' folk are doing the same exact thing that immigrants today (legal or illegal) refuse to do, assimilate into the local cultures. Instead they are actively working to change local cultures to more closely resemble that which they left where ever it was. This waters down local traditions and in some cases has eliminated them entirely.
