The US doesn't have the wealth per person in oil that Norway has. Norway is always pointed to as a perfect example of Government... but that's easy to achieve if you have a massive surplus of wealth, as they seem to.

huge point that not too many people know about. The public oil trust of norway. They just see a system that works, and say let's do that.

Exactly.

Or they see a system that doesn't work and say let's not do that.

It's true that because of reserves of oil (and natural gas) you can't compare Norway to the US. But I do think that you need a very good political system if you want to deal with these resources in a good way. Almost every country in the middle east prooves how difficult this is.
