I’ve heard that nonsense from countless supporters of the
Dumbfuckistani voting system, and I still don’t understand it.
 
Don’t you take it as “self-evident” that all your people are created
equal? If so, why shouldn’t their votes count equally too?

 
Because the very nature of agriculture means that it would be impossible
for states doing the real work to have as many people as the areas where
people collect welfare.

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?
