I agree with your point overall, but you say Texas has "high sales tax" and California has "moderate sales tax", but Texas' sales tax rate is 6.25% and California is 7.25%. Comparing rates with local additions, Los Angeles is 9.5%, San Francisco is 8.5%, Dallas/Houston/Auston is 8.25%,

I thought the base state tax in CA was 6%, but actually you’re right anyway. The total rates are pretty similar. Mental error on my part.
