      Extracting free resources of the land

      Not to be contrarian, but there is a cost to extract those “free” resources; like labor, equipment, transportation, lobbying (AKA: bribes for the non-Americans), processing raw material into something useful, research and development, et cetera.

        While true, they tend not to bare the costs of the environmental damage, at least when these activities are poorly regulated.
