Yeah. I always think of it as getting an equal slice of pie as everyone else vs. a piece which is larger in real terms but other people will have an even larger slice than you. I know which one I'd prefer, but it's quite distressing how many people have so much ressentiment towards anyone who does better than themselves that they would destroy their own standard of living to rectify that perceived evil.
