so you're saying the anti-democratic concentration of economic power you identified is something we should be cool with because California is so fucked? I'm not following

what's a "fair share" to pay is a subjective question. whether a few unelected people should have effective veto power for a state of 40 million people, as you describe, is a little easier to answer, if you believe in popular government. So how do you prevent that?
