If we accept the idea that people can change their mind based upon where they live then why not just treat every vote equally regardless of where the voter lives or has lived?  I can prove that I've lived and worked in cities and rural areas, therefore does my political opinion carry more weight because I've experienced both aspects of American life?  

Because we live in a federal republic where every state has a voice, and that voice is based off of the population. So bigger states and cities can't just control the small ones by always controlling the executive branch. What's good for the city isnt always good for the country and vice versa.
