Yeah, instead we have a system where we get tyranny of the minority, which is clearly superior.

There are multiple states that combined have lower populations than individual cities in numerous successful states. Identical senator counts only (loosely) make sense when there's at least some similarity in state populations. Once you have multiple states which even combined have lower population than single cities in multiple other states it breaks down. Currently ~60% of the senate is determined by 25% of the population. This is ignoring the abuse of prisons to get even more over-representation (The inability of prisoners to vote actively encourage criminalization of groups that vote against you by targeting their activities, and the fact that representation in the house of representative is based on population of an area regardless of voting population means you can both stop a group from voting at all, and then simultaneously use that group to bolster your own representation is immoral, but so is voter suppression, so it's not remotely surprising)

I think it would be reasonable, and in the spirit of the founder's demand for "no taxation without representation" that states owe federal taxes proportional to their federal representation. That way CA residents aren't having to pay more taxes per vote than those of Wyoming.
