Are you sure about that?
Some states tax more than others. For example, Californians pay very similar taxes to Washingtonians, but the former pay income taxes on top of it. And in states with no income tax, still your overall taxes would depend on what you purchase/own...for example, someone that rents an apartment (therefore no property tax) and takes public transportation to work (fewer gas taxes), AND has no state income tax, would probably pay far less in taxes in the end.
Some states are more efficient than others with their dollars, or they have different philosophies for how money should be raised/spent.
