I found the setting to max science quite useful. What is the problem?

- in 
  notify_player(pplayer, _("Game: %s now governs the %s as a %s."), 
                pplayer->name, 
                get_nation_name_plural(pplayer->nation),
                get_government_name(government));  

add "You may want to adjust your tax rates now." to the string. Done.
