The problem is that urban values can tilt people democrat. And there are a lot more urban people than rural people.

If you live in the city, you are as dependent on government as a newborn to mother. You walk to work on concrete paved by the city and drive on streets by the same. To drink or to wash, you get your water from pipes, not out of the ground or from clouds. You need to eat, you pull your food off a shelf, not off of the land. When you work, you don’t improve the world around you, you only have agreements to exchange knowledge or service for money. You don’t truly produce or transform anything, if you live the city life, more than likely broker in something intangible, like information or the exchange of commodities (that you never touch).
City values = dependancy
True. And the city/suburb dwellers want all to be as dependent as they are. Can’t have rugged individuals out there, triggering unwanted feelings in our soy boys and soccer moms.
“City values = dependency”
Spot on. If someone stops pumping your water, stops hauling away your trash or delivering food to stores a city person dies in trash and filth in a matter of days. And deep down then KNOW they are dependent like that. Deep down inside they need laws to control others and protect them.
