No one provokes me with impunity

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

We had 1 in my stairwell...until some a$$hole stole it...went out and spent a great deal more on a replacement...supply...and demand...demand up? price goes up.
