California could cut the state taxes independently which are already anyway the highest in the country.

I don’t really know that much, but pointing out it’s a dual tiered system. Some states have no income tax, yet somehow they fund their programs. US taxes has been always a mystery to me since you you still pay medium % while getting almost no visible benefits in return
