In an offline discussion Joeri pointed out to me that in Holland they have two tax codes. There is a main one that most products have, but certain products are either untaxed or have a lower tax rate, these items a necessary items like food and water. After he brought that up, I think I remember there is a similar tax break system in Minnesota. Therefore I'm going to change the SKU to have a getTaxRate method. By default it will return undef, but there will be an override field so that a user can specify a tax rate, and if they do, then it will return the override rate. 

This means that we need to change the tax code to take this new method into account when it's calculating taxes.

This is a good thing to add.  In Washington, if you order food, it isn't taxed.

Docs updated.

Sales tax can be a mess

Here in PA if you by a hot dog at a resterant to eat, it is taxed. If you buy a hot dog at the corner store to take home and cook yourself it is Not taxed. If you buy the raw hot dog in Clarion county it is 6% if you buy it in Allegheny county it is 7% tax.

I'm pretty sure our new sales tax system covers all those  
circumstances.
