I think what he is saying is that raising the tax rate above 100% is also siphoning money away from infrastructure upkeep, so that bridges decay from lack of repair. Also, the high taxes combined with ignoring the needs of the people does create literal unrest, and that means there are possibly those who are tossing brands onto those bridges in protest.

That still shouldnt kill large amounts of population to fix. I think the unrest is definately meant in a more litteral fashion, as well as taxes. When you put the tax on 100, its normal tax which they expect. When you put it on 200, its twice as much tax as theyd normally pay, so they get upset and go off and cause unrest. Which should be at least partially relieved by the province being conquered by someone else.
