Technically correct, but totally missing the point. There’s going to be a
big
incremental incentive difference between, say 10% and 90% taxation.

An apt comparison is sharecroppers. Their effective tax rate is close to 100% but they still work hard because eating > not eating.

Societies taxing their entrepreneurs at 10 and at 90% are always vastly different. This difference in turn heavily influences every participant’s system of motivations, so comparing these two numbers alone is usually not very helpful
