Money and low taxes. Reason why thousands of people from Asia work in the middle-east despite piss-poor conditions.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read "well-off". Still, more money is the answer.

>>Money and low taxes

More like no taxes. From what i heard, they have no sales tax, or income tax (including companies). And a flat 5% duty on all duty (with that even exempted on certain goods such as computers).

They are required to file US taxes. Between the $100,000 foreign income exclusion and the foreign tax credit, many will not owe any tax.

There is no tax credit if there is no tax in the country you are in.
