The United State gave Alaska the land for free in 1959 and since then 19 billion barrels of oil got produced and sold with a a free ride of 12.5% royalty plus taxes for the state for doing nothing, and now some want to run all oil investors and risk takers out of Alaska when not one Alaska has ever drilled for oil found it and sold it for as profit, why is that? Someone help me understand the reasoning, please?
