I get the irony -- one part of the family brings down towers another builds the worlds tallest. I think everyone was reading something into your comments that wasn't there.
What I get from this is that they have a valuable natural resource, oil and get the most out of it and have the money to spend.
We on the other hand do not allow our resources to be developed, instead we import and our economy is sick.
The US government's oil policies send our money overseas and keep the oil prices high so that the multinational oil companies can make huge profits and can afford to buy Congress.
Almost everybody is happy!
