Comment on Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?
Your whole post can be summed up as “consumption taxes are regressive but some think they are more fair”
What is the alternative? Asking honestly.
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.
