Americans don't care. Companies sell for the domestic market in priority. In different states there is a complete analogue of VAT - sales taxes, but on average 2-3 times lower than in Europe, where the authorities charge you around the circle. First, for wages, then for purchased goods, paid for with money from a salary from which taxes have already been taken ...
In essence, VAT is a levy on the illegal market of workers who do not pay taxes officially. As well as the sales tax, its copy for the final consumer.
But from a person working officially, it turns out they take taxes twice. And it is illegal from the point of view of common sense. But where did you see it, common sense, on planet Earth?
