Don’t you take it as “self-evident” that all your people are created

If you mean “large cities”, those are in fact the backbone of your
economy. The US isn’t an agrarian society any more.
 
Why should the value of someone’s vote depend on where they live?

The reason the value of someone's vote means more is because unlike you
progressives, the forefathers understood how agriculture works. Also,
they knew that smart asses like you would starve without the labour of
people who work on farms.

Farming is not an "industry," but it's as close to industry as we now have
in the U.S. The parasites and money changers in the big cities certainly
aren't producing the necessary goods needed for their citizens to survive.
They just eating up a disproportionate share of the wealth. Federal taxes
that come from the blue collar workers in the "fly-over" states, end up in
the gaping maw of the parasites in the cities.
