What kind of chauvanistic bs are you peddling? You obviously have some kind of nationalistic agenda. You want to take the oil money out of Texas, too? And who is running this lottery, anyway. You are talking nonsense. If you compare the Saudi capitalists to their nomadic ancestors who carried their wealth on camelback, then you would see the difference. Or, you could compare them to environmentalists who do not like oil, and fight drilling as the ones in Forida who prefer clean beaches. No oil money here, even though there is oil.
Some are saying the sucess of the UAE is because of capitalism, I'm saying one must account for the reality of an influx of oil money in the UAE and that is the main reason for the UAE's success.
Those who say the UAE's success is because of capitalism (ignoring the influx of oil money) would also have to say the success of Chavez's Venezuela is because of socialism (also ignoring the influx of oil money). Sure the UAE exhibits characteristics of capitalism and Venezuela socialism, but what has made the real difference is oil money. In both cases oil money is greasing the countries ecomomies, the effect of oil money masks the effects of the their respective economic systems.
If you took oil money out of the equation those Saudi "capitalists" would be just like their nomadic ancestors who carried their wealth on camelback, and Chavez's Venezuela would be an absolute ecomomic failure like Zimbabwe.
