Alaskans own oil reserves, get paid for them
US Corporations go around the world and take the most valuable assets from many foreign countries, then sell the products and pocket the profit. The US does not acknowledge that other countries own their water, diamonds, gold, oil, seeds, rainforest land, etc. We go in, set up huge private security perimeters, milk the asset and are SHOCKED when brought to the table for negotiations about how to share the wealth we’re taking from the indigenous peoples.
Here’s Sarah Palin, explaining that ‘each Alaskan owns’ her state’s oil reserves and should be paid when oil companies suck it out of the ground.
Hey, wait a minute! Alaskans are Americans. I’m an American. She’s taking my tax dollars for the Bridge to Nowhere, Why don’t I get some of that money?
And wouldn’t America be a better global citizen if our businesses and government paid citizens of other countries when we appropriated their most valuable assets?
