Foreign workers are roughly 25% of the total population, nearly 40% of
people on working age.

Every Saudi citizen has free health care and education, loans at 0% for
starting businesses and 1st house mortgages, and barely pays any taxes
at all.

In terms of available income, the figure will be very similar to that
of the US, and, believe it or not, it is more evenly distributed _among
Saudi citizens_


Yeah, but being a MUSLIM is rather a prerequisite for receiving all this
largesse...
