That's state tax, which is paid in addition to federal (nationwide) tax. Some states, like Texas, have no state income tax.

And the states without income tax usually make it up somewhere. I believe with Texas it means higher property taxes (California's are quite strictly limited thanks to the notorious Prop 13).

Texas also gets 36% of its tax revenue from sales tax:

That's state income tax on your second million and above in a given year. The rate on your first million every year is less. Like first-world problems, I guess the tax rate on income over $1MM/yr can be called a California problem.

Not much less. It works out to 10.8%, according to CA's tax calculator.
