Exactly! It is hypocritical for proponents of progressive taxes to complain simply because the fiscal conservative states are benefiting from progressive taxes. Certainly it is not hypocritical for the fiscal conservative States to want to change a system that is current benefiting them to make it flat for everyone.
The other thing I am not sure about is why OP highlights high tax Democratic States, no doubt that is what they are, but it is not applicable applied to Federal Income Taxes where everyone, regardless of State, is subject to the same progressive tax rates.
