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?

    More taxes paid are still more taxes paid. Regardless of whether that’s a large or small portion of someone’s income.

    More tax revenue is more money for social services.

    I know it’s not all perfectly fair, but it’s not all bad.
