Sometimes it even gets to -1000 +more.

However what u all failed to mention is that cities dont like having -1500 and they start hating u. Ive had 2 rebellions already, with taxes on low-normal and the city full of troops. After awhile the cities crack and revolt. And since im loosing a lot of money i can't build many buildings to make every city happy. Im afraid its going to be a dominoe effect, one city revolts, less taxes=less money=less happines=another revolt in another large city.

I dont think they do, because Patavium has 30,000 people or so and making -5000!(Im still making about 10,000 a turn overall minus construction/recruitment costs).
They dont hate me there, although I do have a garrison of around 12 Milita units.
