This is a fundamentalism penalty. I do not know if fundamentalism should
have this penalty or not, I suspect not, but it was highly inappropriate
to put it where it was - the server would quietly change the actual tax
rates when doing the calculations and the user would never know.

Note that there is another science penalty for fundamentalism which is not
affected.

Of course, I should have spelled this out clearly in the patch
description. Sorry about that.
