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 have VAT in America. The States got pissy that we were buying things online and not paying sales tax. Now we have to pay VAT and sales tax because Google and such caved in to pressure, and the rich assholes still do whatever they want. Capitalism is hell and America is doomed.
Good luck y’all.
There is no VAT in America. Just sales tax at a state and local level. VAT is a very specific method of taxation that isn’t the same as a general sales tax. I’m still not sure how you are relating that to Google either though. Google sells very little compared to someplace like Amazon.
I don’t know what State you live in but we sure as shit have it in Illinois.
Illinois has a use tax, commonly called retail sales tax, which is NOT VAT.
