Well, if you only lowered it 7%, then they won't quit for quite awhile.
To get them back to calm as quickly as possible, I lower my tax rate to
0% after a few turns at 100%.  It takes about 3 or 4 turns for them to
return to calm after they had been rioting, and at least twice that
amount of time (depending on how long you've had it at 100%) to get them
back to normal after civil war had broken out.  Another factor is the
amount of colonists you have there to keep the natives in line (should
you have chosen to opress the natives).  So, you have to make the decision:
do you want the cash quick, or do you want to keep the people on your
planet alive...
