You seem to be confused. Your own link shows that California state sales tax is the highest in the country. Look at the blue bars.

Whoops. If we're just comparing state sales tax, CA does seem to be the highest. However it's not dramatically higher than many other states, and when you throw in local taxes the combined rate seems to be just in the top ten or so.

None of the top ten states of the richest country in the world should have bad roads.
