Why do people think Dubai is an advanced state when it is just as primitive as Jordan?

Question

It does not matter if Dubai is building artificial islands or the worlds best resorts, what do these things mean if the government does not redistribute the wealth to it's tax paying citizens?

Answer 1

you cant judge on Dubai from what you see in TV, or what you read in the papers, or from what you here about arabs. If you really want to measure how a countries is advanced or not you should visit the place and judge from what you see with your own eyes.

Do you know that Dubai is the capital of IT companies that every and each company listed in NASDAQ has an office in Dubai. if that is the type advance you mean

Dubai actually is a traders city since 120 years. and from that time till today it established itself to be a major player in the global economy of course oil added more depth to Dubai's role.

Dubai city locals do not want the money which is in the governments hand because locals have an income of more than $ 150,000/year because as i told you Dubai people are traders and merchants. Also Dubai's people know that the money is wisely spent on the infrastructure " or where will you find a city that has a road with 7 lines, or cheap electricity that never had a blackout, or the most advanced airports and seaports in the world". AND those projects you stated are to promote the city and bring more citizens and and tourists to be costumers to our shops and malls.


thanks god i am from DUBAI

I LOVE YOU DUBAI!

Answer 2

I'm not saying Dubai isn't primitive, but people get your facts straight. The UAE citizens actually do get subsidies from the government in terms of free land, utilities, etc. And there are no taxes in the UAE (so that $20k a year I would have been paying to Bush stays right in my pocket). By the way, Dubai does not own any US ports.

Answer 3

Transjordan was established as a Mandate in 1922 and as an independent country in 1946 named Jordan. As to the Partition Plan anyone can google up a map; 55% of the territory of Mandate Palestine went to the jewish Agency; the other 45% to the Palestinians who would then normally have held a plebiscite to determine if they wished to be independent or become a part of Jordan. Unfortunately within two hours of the end of the Mandate the zionists invaded and attacked the Palestinian territory,having been heavily armed by the USSR,which originally proposed carving off half of Palestine to create a justforjews domain. Several Arabs states,all newly established, atempted to defend the Palestinian areas but they were no match for the lavishly funded and heavily armed Haganah which had now become the IDF. Only the Jordanian Army was able to defend much of the WB under the leadership of the brilliant John Glubb Pasha. By 1949 the 55% the jews had agreed to was 78.5% and by 1967 the remaining 22.5% of Mandate Palestine was and remains under hostile occupation by the zionists. Legally the zionists have no claim to anything but the Partition PLan borders the jewish agency agreed to on Nov. 29,1947 since the current zionist regime is the legal successor to the jewish agency and bound by it's committments.
