The Revolutionary Work of Washington Needed Worldwide

   Since its beginning in 1790 with 13 states, the admission of 37 new states over 170 years to the United States was a revolutionary model for the creation of wealth for poor people. Before the rise to a fantastic level of prosperity in the US in the 19th and 20th centuries, nation-state economies created wealth only for rich captains of industry and the middle classes. The poor were instruments to create the wealth but they were excluded from an adequate living wage by their hostile economic and political masters. The war between the rich and the poor went on behind national borders everywhere but in the US.There competition for new wealth kept spilling across the borders of old American states to new American states. What worked politically, financially, industrially, agriculturally, legislatively in eastern states was quickly imitated and easily installed in new states to the west. There were no values in this new revolutionary union of states except the values of the middle class but the steady expansion of the union into new states gave everyone including the poor new opportunities. Everyone adopted middle-class values because continuous expansion to new states created and spread around more and more wealth.

   This model of economic expansion alone will work for undeveloped states. Capital cannot be transferred in large quantities to undeveloped states from developed states unless there is political union between them. The excessive capital now in developed states can spill over easily into undeveloped states if they gain the legal right to use together with developed states  the common judicial, legislative, and financial practices possible for each state in a union of states. The non-state government in Washington in the District of Columbia has been facilitating interstate commerce and economic expansion among states for almost two and a half centuries. It should continue its revolutionary work by inviting nation-states worldwide to petition its Congress for admission to its union. The stateless government in Washington should become the central democratic government of a united states of the world in order to begin at last the economic development of all states everywhere.
