Consumption taxes are harder to make progressive; that is, they tend to have a disproportionate burden on the poor, whose consumption is a higher fraction of their income. But that could potentially be countered by something like a UBI, which is a progressive measure.

Progressive consumption taxes are a thing. Flat sales tax, yes, those are regressive.
