I'm sure price and income levels are a big factor. Federal tax laws don't distinguish between high cost and income and low cost and income areas.

I noticed something on another site that indicated CA's balance of federal payments had risen dramatically when defense spending declines following the end of the cold war. Back around 1990 CA's balance of federal payments and receipts was close to even.

"Or practically any other of these liberal states that have high wages and high costs of living."

It is the same in Texas and has been since at least the 1970s. We are hardly a high wage, high cost of living state. The biggest difference is our poverty rate is lower.
