      The essence of the treathog, many of them will be happy to have less treats so long as “the help” still has less treats than them.

          The amount of treats I have is only relevant in the context of how many treats those around me don’t have.

          Wouldn’t say that I “only want the tide to rise for me”, but this part here seems true regardless.

          How do I know I am socially equal to others unless I’m living comparably to them? Because we can all do whatever we as individuals want? That’s not equality, unless the “Free Market” is unironically a place of equality.
