A third of Americans live in poverty or struggle to remain not far above poverty. The majority of people outside the United States and other developed countries live in poverty. Poor people in the world have no capital to invest in their economies to produce jobs. In some poor countries the only avenues to wealth are politics and corruption. Plenty of capital and know-how is available worldwide to create jobs, but poor sovereign states ruled by tyrants are not attractive to investors. The best way to develop them is to invite them to become states in our union of states. Then they will draw in investments from investors worldwide looking for totally secure opportunities. And we Americans would have new states in our union needing development where we could use our skills securely and profitably creating wealth for the world's poor and for ourselves.
But we are blind to our condition. And we are blind to the immense possibilities for good that our political system could do for ourselves and the world. We do not see who we are and where we should be headed.
