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?

Stocks and property are taxed in the UK, just not with VAT: we have capital gains tax, dividend tax, and stamp duty.
Oh absolutely, it’s just the VAT itself is regressive, not the overall tax system.
