Q, I think you are off-base with respect to this primary business with Florida and Michigan.

They knew the consequences of their choices before they made them.

Not saying our 'system' is not without significant flaws - but the party rules were clear and the consequences known by the Democratic party in both of those states.   

I still don't know if I am going to vote for Obama or Hilary in the Democratic primary in NC, and so don't have a stake in the choices from that respect.    While I see know logical or just reason for the taxpayers of Michigan or Florida to foot the bill for 2nd primaries or caucuses, not being a resident or tax payor in either of those states, that is none of my business. I have, however, made contributions (paltry for sure, but what I could afford) to the national party, and I strongly object to the expenditure of funds from the National party for a re-run of primaries in these two states.
