It all belongs to the people.<br /><br />Gadaffi used oil money (the oil belongs to the people as well) to fund schools and universities and hospitals.<br /><br />The UK govt does that as well but increasingly, big chunks of our money go to 3rd world nations to fund space programs. Or dictators. Or fake charities. Or it is spent on fine wines and champagnes for the HoC cellar. Or they buy works of art for millions of £££'s to hang on walls we don't get to walk by and admire.<br /><br />Gadaffi made sure those in need had more money than they actually needed to live on.
