For the same reason we have inherited wealth but not inherited punishment. Also it's not that they should be able to have rewards without working for them, if they abdicate the throne they should give the money back. It's more if their ancestors were good at rulership the ability may have passed through the bloodlines.

The difference here is, they are inheriting a political position, they are not a private citizen taking over a family company.

I don't really see how that's a meaningful distinction, and curiously enough I expect many of my counterparts on the far-left would probably agree with my reasoning there, although drawing a wholly different conclusion. In fact I would go so far as to say that workplace democracy makes more logical sense than national democracy, and the fact that we have the latter but not the former is somewhat absurd. If people aren't qualified to make decisions about the future of the firm that they work for, what makes them more qualified to make decisions affecting the future of the entire country?

I believe that only the founder should have absolute power(because there will be idiots down the line who go off and wasting their reign partying and what not) and the rest are bound by a constitution that gives them nearly absolute power(as long as they don't change certain laws, as well as not going around sleeping with another's spouse,etc.)

I'm not on board with near absolute power for successors or even the founder as they may not actually care for the people and I think the people aught to have democratic power over their government. I don't think a monarch should have any more power than the current presidency and even that's pushing it. I do not like the idea of one man calling all the shots as they're virtually unaccountable if that is the case, and there are plenty of tyrannical kings throughout history who had people maimed, tortured to death, etc, without even a fair trial.
Edit: Is the "Republican" in your sig a reference to the Republican Party. If so, that's pretty ironic, and no, Trump should not become a king or even be in government for any longer. He shouldn't have even been elected in the first place.

I don't see why feudalism was brought up (this isn't getting into how there are a lot of inaccurate popular views of feudalism) since it hasn't been part of Western society for centuries and monarchies existed before it. Not to mention of course that feudalism is a primarily European phenomenon that doesn't really apply to most other civilizations and their respective history of monarchism.

I'm just saying that I wouldn't consider restoring it.

Well why would it be? The abolition of the mechanics of feudalism tended to be supported by a wide variety of social classes, including the nobility, and the pressures that led to its development don't even exist.

Must be a whole bunch of uneducated,delusional teens then, I at least wait my monarch to have some semblance of dignity ( Yes I support Trump, but lets face it, he is a a-hole, plus either he or his campaign managers are missing humongous chances to improve his image left and right)
