Why share this at all? It's a brain-dead take, and your other posts seem progressive. These kinds of articles shouldn't get any traction.

If anything, its making a great argument for scaling it up to the state level. Why should virtually all red states have a say in the federal government by this same logic? They take far more than they pay into the federal system and their existence is subsidized by blue states.

The average person who reads this article and thinks it has merit would probably lose their voice in federal government if the concept was applied at the state level
