I don't think I have any crisp link I can give you, but it is based on my general reading over the years.

Do you have an alternate explanation for the high taxes in CA? Public school spending per pupil is one of the lowest in the nation, the roads are among the worst in the nation, and I'm not aware of any other area of public spending which is noticeably excessive per recipient in CA compared to many other states. (I'm excluding Texas and some other compassion-challenged places from that.)

We do have a lot of jails and some overpaid prison guards, I guess. Public sector retirement plans are way excessive, but that's true in most states.

If you do have another explanation, I'm actually pretty interested to hear it. Happy to revise my ideas if they're wrong.
