Then, why don't you just set all your provinces to 200% tax and then a bit reduced tax for the few turns?

Because it doesn't pay off. You lose gold to even small amounts of unrest.

Also, Illuminated One makes an excellent point - if you raid effectively enough, the enemy cannot take all the provinces back in the same turn. I remember doing this with ea vanheim.
