This has nothing to do with taxes. It's not even true in America. If high taxes are such a massive depressor of wages, why are all the highest paying jobs concentrated in the states with the highest taxes?

That's not so simple. A lot of the jobs around the beltway are high paying because they depend on taxes in some way, eg defense.
