Either I didn't explain it properly or you don't understand. The Richer States like California have to pay more taxes to support the poorer States. Otherwise, the entire country sinks into civil war.

Clearly, California has more spending than the people are prepared to pay for. This dam should have been maintained and repaired in the past. Paid for by the taxpayers. A business would update, repair, etc. Passing the costs on to the customers. Somehow when it comes to taxes people think it works the another way.

Now the birds have come home to roost on that policy.
