The rule of apportioning both representatives and taxes applies to all states.
What I’m so alarmed over is the progressive politician’s Marxist thinking and how the rule of apportionment as applied to taxation, which sadly goes unnoticed by the Republican Party Leadership, would assist greatly in obstructing the progressive politician’s agenda if enforced.
Let us recall what Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 79:
A POWER OVER A MAN's SUBSISTENCE AMOUNTS TO A POWER OVER HIS WILL
Is this maxim not at the very core of Obama’s Marxist political philosophy?
And just what is Obama’s political philosophy?
f we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon an Obama, welfare, food stamp, section 8 housing, college loan check, we can then bribe them for their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s productive population enslaved to pay the bills ____ Obama’s Marxist game plan, a plan to establish a federal dictatorship and be in charge of redistributing the incomes [wealth] which labor, business and investors have worked to create.
But the rule of apportionment, which prevents such evil (what is now called redistribution of wealth), was not only meant to apply to each State’s tax contribution to the federal government, but also intended to apply to contributions from the federal government to the States! And this fact is established by reviewing an Act of Congress in June of 1836 in which all surplus revenue in excess of $ 5,000,000 was distributed among the states, the total being $28,000,000, being distributed among the states by the rule of apportionment in the nature of interest free loans, to be recalled if and when Congress decided to make such a recall.
Why does the Republican Party Leadership ignore the rule of apportionment, the enforcement of which is essential in obstructing Obama’s Marxist political philosophy?

"To lay with one hand the power of the government on the property of the citizen and with the other to bestow upon favored individuals, to aid private enterprises and build up private fortunes [Obama’s Solyndra/Chevy Volt/Fisker, Exelon swindling deals] is none the less a robbery because it is done under forms of law and called taxation."____ Savings and Loan Assc. v. Topeka,(1875).
Still no answer. Should states with poorer populations have less electoral power, or just California?
I don’t think that the rule of apportionment is ignored. Rather, they enact indirect taxes where the rule does not apply.
