Many EU countries have a “VAT” and like feel like this is kinda targeting poor people. Like, for the rich, this is insignificant, for poorer people, a (example) 20% tax would be a huge burden. Why do they do this?

    We do that too.

    Not sure about countries in the EU, but in the UK your income is taxed at different rates depending on how much you earn in a year.
