We have a coordinating union of states though, we don't need states to be pitted against each other to subsidize existing wealthy owners.

That seems like a ridiculous idea. The very purpose of the states is “50 different experiments”. I want states pitted against each other.

That's a later conception of Brandeis isn't it? Think of the early political cartoon of a snake cut into 13 pieces that needed to join to defeat the British, not experiment in competition against each other to win the war by subsidizing the largest existing concentrated owners to entice them to their state with corporate welfare.
