If a sales tax is the same for all goods sold within a given area, why are sales taxes considered regressive?

High-income earners avoid paying sales tax through deductions.

Sales taxes tend to be higher in areas with large low-income populations.

Sales tax disproportionately affects low-income earners.

Low-income earners make purchase decisions based exclusively on sales tax.
