Saying that one or the other state is seeing an increase or decrease is meaningless on its own. You need reference points in order to support your assertions. It's easy to increase your revenues if they were next to nothing to begin with. And it's easy to see drops in revenues if they were already very high. An increase in one state could still leave that state far below another state that has seen a decrease.

Additionally, we need tangible explanations for those changes. Texas, for example, has historically always kept major portions of their revenue sources off the "tax" roles, and instead relies heavily on fees and fines. Texas is quite professional at criminalizing their population to generate all manners of fines that pour money into state coffers. So increases in tax revenues could be nothing more than increasing taxes to offset reductions in fees/fines that have long been hated by most people. Likewise, other states decreasing tax revenues could be connected with shifting some of the revenue burden to fee and fine based sources.

There's also population changes that could be part of the equation. After the last census Texas and Florida saw increases in relative population, while California saw a decrease. Migration likely plays a role here. Of course, I really doubt it plays a significant enough role to see these particular numbers, but I point this out to further highlight he insufficiency of your analysis. Budgetary surpluses and deficits could also play a role. A state that has run surpluses in recent years might naturally reduce their taxes, and states that have run deficits could well increase their taxes as a result.

So in conclusion, you're suggesting a very interesting topic here, and one I would love to see some impactful data on, but you're only scratching the surface in terms of supporting your hypothesis. At best, you're committing a cum hoc ergo proper hoc fallacy with an abstract, decenary correlation. I hope that you'll dig into this more and help break down all the fascinating nuances for everyone.

FACTs not guesses and these are the FACTS... which by the way you provided none.

Sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 56 percent of all tax collections.Jun 1, 2023
the largest sources of state tax revenue are:

• sales taxes
• the franchise tax (the state’s primary business tax)
• motor vehicle-related taxes
• taxes on crude oil and natural gas production

Monthly State Revenue Watch

To promote better understanding of the state’s finances, Revenue Watch now reports revenue in two ways: all funds (excluding trusts), general revenue-related funds

comptroller.texas.gov

With 56% coming from people buying goods and services WITH no income tax, with more new jobs being created it is no wonder this is a FACT:
As measured by the state’s gross domestic product (GDP), the value of all goods and services produced, the Texas economy expanded at an annual rate of 7%.
This is the fastest growth in real GDP among all of the states and well ahead of the nation as a whole, which grew at 2.6%.

And all of that still ignores the FACT that Texas relies heavily on fees and fines for its revenues outside of taxation.

But you do this a lot. You're the king of cherry picking. I have no reason to believe you want to have a complete picture of the topic, even when someone is receptive to your hypothesis.
