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 progressive income taxes like a land value tax would be a great start.
I pay those. I have a plot of land and pay tax on it.
Any other suggestion?
You almost certainly do not unless you are incredibly wealthy and own multiple plots of land . Land Value Taxes are not the same as property tax.
That’s correct. My country does not observe it.
Most countries do not have a LVT because it would hurt the very wealthy as it is taxes on unused land not on your primary home.
