#182 and #192, you guys just don’t want to get it, do ya?
Socialists own the means of production and all the resources,using same as they see fit, benevolent highminded keeprs of the flame.
In Alaska, as in most western states, the state received title to the resources lying beneath state public lands, under a covenant which reqires that they allow the private sector to develop and use these resources in exchange for a cut of the take, e.g. royalties! Nothing at all socialistic about that arrangement to anyone with a simple understanding of mineral rights laws. Texas, Colorado, Utah, et al. all do the same thing.
Alaska is unique only in the the scope of its resources versus the number of people who live there.
