Mainly because I see that we are excluded from owning land in outer space, and I am in Alaska where only one percent of the land and none of the subsurface rights are in private hands. You have corporate ownership and gov't ownership for the 99%. Things sure have changed in the land of milk and honey since 200 years ago when they couldn't even give land away fast enough.
Why did the feds usurp Alaska's state property rights? Maybe this all happened before Alaska was a state. I'm not familar with that part of your history. But, the feds shouldn't be in the land owning business. A parcel here and there for parks is one thing. Owning 99% of a state is a whole different issue. What are you all doing about it?
