Why can't we get more?

Britain gets half of an oil company's revenue produced on property owned by England. Norway gets as much as 78%. The average government brings in 60% and more. The US brings in 40%. Make sense to you?

I worked in the mountains of Montana for awhile and the logging companies also get a sweet deal from the government. I am pretty sure the govn't even pays for the logging roads.
