IMHO, I do not believe any government should own the land, because it promotes greed and manipulation.

“IMHO, I do not believe any government should own the land, because it promotes greed and manipulation.”

That’s right, we’ve been here before.
The Teapot Dome scandal was a bribery incident that took place in the United States from 1920 to 1923 during the administration of President Warren G. Harding. Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall leased Navy petroleum reserves at Teapot Dome in Wyoming and two other locations in California to private oil companies at low rates without competitive bidding. In 1922 and 1923, the leases became the subject of a sensational investigation by Senator Thomas J. Walsh. Fall was later convicted of accepting bribes from the oil companies.

As we’ve seen demonstrated time and again, corruption sticks to this `transparent’ administration like snot on a suede jacket.
