where someone lives should have no bearing, for example if you work for an employer the state where you turn up to work should receive taxes, and if you're an inventor the state where the patent office resides should get to money.
this would solve a lot of cases.
and if you live somewhere you also pay property taxes.

The company for which I work already pays massive corporate taxes to the state so their “impact” and consumption of government is more than paid for. When I do travel to California, I already get to pay high hotel taxes, rental car taxes, gas taxes, sales taxes. That covers my “share.” Really states ought to abolish income taxes; Texas and Washington State and many others seem to be doing just fine. The idea of taxing income is already ridiculous — we should be taxing consumption, but that’s another discussion.
