Taxes don't have to be the primary determinant of business strategy in order for raising taxes to have an overall harmful effect. The effect doesn't have to be the biggest effect in order to have a negative effect at the margin whether your looking at the whole economy, or a particular firm. It might well make sense for Longshort's company to cut back one or more person's hours (including cutting them to zero, i.e. firing them) when his taxes are raised. The fact that taxes are mostly likely not the single biggest factor for him is irrelevant to this point.
