Combining church and state into one, and enforcing the Christian version of Sharia law on American citizens and shoving the Bible down our throats.
What are you being forced to do or not do? Does someone come to your house every day and make you read the Bible? Are you forced to pray 5 times a day?
I can be around religious people or I can stay away and avoid them are you saying they surround you every day?

Wonderful, the Saudi Ministry of Health has increased the amount of money spent in the health sector. That does not show the taxpayers are paying for it.
You realize Saudi Arabia's income tax rate is 2.5% right?
So what?
The corporate tax rate is 45% for most businesses.
Capital gains taxes are up to 30%.
And they don't have an income tax.
That 2.5% you are talking about is a tax on net wealth.
Foreign companies that do business in Saudi also pay extra taxes.
Two ministries share responsibility for the energy sector: the Ministry of Oil and the Ministry of Water and Electricity
meaning GOVERNMENT
The General Electricity Corporation (GEC) had overall responsibility for the Kingdom's electricity system and had direct responsibility for the provision of electrical supplies to rural areas not then covered by the consolidated companies. The GEC represented the government equity holdings in all the independent electricity generating companies and was a source of finance for those companies' capital requirements
GOVERNMENT owns the oil, and thus it belongs to the people
As I already said, yes the government controls the oil. And that's where the money comes from. Not the taxpayer.
Thanks for proving me right. The money comes from the government controlled oil, not the taxpayers.
Glad we cleared that up.
Since when did government owned oil companies become a right wing ideology? Maxine Waters, is that you? Suggesting we should socialize the oil companies?
All you did was prove yourself wrong.. Ridiculously dumb...
The weak attempts by the leftist trash here on CD to associate and/or link average American conservatives to murderous religious zealots from other countries is disgusting and shows the low levels that many of you are willing to go to push your unwanted agendas.
Please don't go to any educated group of people and say that - heck, don't even say that at the GOP headquarters or to Reince Preibus. EVERYONE knows the Saudi Government is right-wing and the greatest proponent of the religious Sharia law.
But I guess plain ignorance of facts even when staring you right in the face is the hallmark of a Tea Partier
Yawn.
Right-wing does not mean Sharia Law. Who was the dumb ass was that made that crap up?
I'm not a Tea Partier ether.
The Saudi government is intrusive and regulates almost every aspect of individuals lives. That makes it big government which is the very definition of the left.

No... I never said the government owning the oil was right wing. I'd LOVE for you to point out where I did such a thing.
The ONLY thing I argued with you was that the Saudi Arabian government did not provide healthcare via the taxpayers. And I was right.
Where the hell did you come up with the idea that government controlling oil is a right wing ideology?
When George Bush was president it was right-wing to get the government out of the oil business altogether. Huge tax breaks, no regulation. Let them charge whatever they want. A free for all by the oil companies. Wild Wild West.
Now, we're told that government control of oil is right-wing.
Makes perfect sense.
Kinda like lug nuts on a doughnut.
