Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do foreigners still have to pay sales tax (in the US) when they are only visitors?

There are countries who have tax refunds when visitors are leaving (basically reclaiming VAT whilst at the airport), they have already purchased the goods with VAT paid but gets refunded upon them departing.
The UK used to allow VAT refunds for tourists, but Great Britain stopped doing it a few years ago. Now tourists pay the VAT just like residents do. Northern Ireland still allows it (for non-EU residents, I believe.)
