How can you have one group with enhanced rights and privilege, and then reduce or remove that privilege and enhanced rights without it being disadvantageous?
You can put forward a moral case for fairness, but there is self evidently a disadvantage.
Unless the benefits of a more equitable society counteract that. Taxing the rich is an immediate disadvantage to them, but investing it in reducing inequality reduces their chances of ending up on a pitchfork, so that would be a net benefit for them.
That's as close to a meme as I'm getting: the rich should pay taxes as a form of anti-pitchfork insurance.

What happened to all those 80s South African politicians? Apartheid ending didn't exactly do their careers any favours.
