  Lots of countries have abundant natural resources. Most of those resources are exploited by private interests though.

  Norway is wealthy because of oil Right; you wouldn't compare Norway to the entire US, you'd compare it to Alaska. People forget this about the US. You wouldn't compare "California" to "the EU" because that wouldn't make sense.

  I said wealthier. And yes, as other state, the US had and has significantly more natural resources per capita.
