True.. But here is something I read some where.. Avg. income for a Saudi has come down from around 18k at peak to about 6k at present.. Now I am not sure whether that number is correct or not but I bet you that has not happened for the ruling class.. Same article said, every year, more and more prince and princess are created in Saudi Arabia and these guys and gals get big stipends.. A Saudi prince who is in the govt. and at cabinet level post apparently pulls in 6m USD equivalent a year.. So some where in there is a unhappy population.. When times were good, I guess every one was happy.. Now, who knows..
