They are very similar, the difference is that everyone can see sales tax on their receipt.

Tariffs are a clever way to impose a hidden regressive tax.

Look, Trump's idea is economically unwise for several reasons. But you're stretching past the breaking point in trying to find a way to drag it into this conversation.
