Consider that there are two people. Person 1 makes $40,000/year. Person 2 makes $200,000/year. Over the course of the year each of them spends $10,000 on items that are subject to a sales tax of 5%. For the person making $40,000 that $500 tax bill is kind of significant. For the person making $200,000 it's hardly a blip in their budget.
Sales taxes are regressive just like property taxes.

@Hedgehog Hornet also sales taxes impose a burden on small businesses to calculate and collect them.
