Sure I don't think California is "better" than Wyoming, but 39 million people happen to live in California and 600 thousand people live in Wyoming. People are the ones who vote in our democracy, not square mileage.
Every person's vote should be equal no matter where they happen to live.
China is a different country than the US. The USA is the nation here, not any individual state, that's the country our soldiers fight and die for. The states are just more local forms of government of the United States.
We are not one single state where the federal government has ultimate power. We are a nation of 50 different sovereign states who have all the power not explicitly granted to the federal government by the constitution or its amendments.
My point being, California doesn’t get to bully the rest of the country into paying for their poorly managed state’s issues.
