People have fundamentally different worldviews. Some people refuse to accept anybody having nice things unless everybody can have them. I personally don't care for dragging everyone down to the lowest common denominator, I'd rather focus on helping bring people up where feasible.

Nah, mate. Admit it, we're all about getting the best we can for ourselves and devil take the hindmost.

I'll definitely agree that that applies for most people, including myself. Also don't think there's anything wrong with that. But I was more saying when people aim for equality, some take that to mean dragging everyone down first, and some take that to mean pulling everyone up first.
