This isn’t comparing taxes. It’s comparing what section of the population shares more of the total burden.

This isn’t saying the people in Texas pay more, just that the distribution is different across income groups. Which makes sense because there is no income tax. Overall, the vast majority (and all non-landowners) in Texas is paying less than they would in Cali.

It’s a misleading graph, possibly on purpose to make people think what you did.

Edit: brain fart. further discussion below.
