How about adding in Canada as well? And, we could set up a system where each area keeps its own regional autonomy but everyone contributes to the greater good. We could call such regionally autonomous areas “countries”.
According to the Articles of Confederation, Canada can join us if it wants.
And The Articles of Confederation are part of the organic law of the united States of America.

The “Organic laws” are the highest laws. In order, they are:
1) The Declaration of Independence
2) The Articles of Confederation
3) The Constitution
“How about adding in Canada as well? And, we could set up a system where each area keeps its own regional autonomy but everyone contributes to the greater good. We could call such regionally autonomous areas “countries”.”
That’d never work. Way too complicated.
I mean, if everyone was doing their own thing, how could a common standard of welfare dependency ever be established?
