It means high enough above their perceived benefit from said taxes to strongly incentivize tax avoidance and lobbying to create loopholes. For example, the top marg*nal tax rate in my province is 49% and it is insane to me because the program choice of the levels of governments does not align with program choices i would make with that money and all the spending is conservatively inflated 15 to 20% above the cost i would be able to get if i was said programs. I am getting potholes, mediocre schools and mediocre healthcare for the cost of first class all those things.
