They're terrified at the idea of the "lower class" having anything good. They think it takes something away from them. They're terrified of people having good things without "earning" it, even though the rich aren't earning it either

    It's like Syndrome in The Incredibles with the "When everyone's super, no one will be." But for them, when everyone has a living wage, social safety net, human rights - they won't be superior to anyone anymore.
