Assuming my taxes are applied at an equal percentage. I pay thousands to the state of California and I just moved here. I have a right to my vote if the state has a right to my tax dollars.

All the H1-Bs working in California also pay thousands to it. They also pay taxes for federal social programs (social security etc) that they aren't even eligible for. Do they have a right to vote?

And because of prop 13, new homeowners pay obscenely more in taxes than long-term residents.
