Which salts produce which solutions

Why do salts of weak bases produce acidic solutions and salts of weak acids produce basic solutions?

Salts that contain the conjugate base of a weak acid will raise pH by removing protons from water to generate hydroxide. Sodium acetate is a good example of this.
