That's irony in the strongest sense of the word.
i think they are upset with the loopholes that the rich have and that regular people don't

corporations for example allow you to pay expenses with pre tax dollars while regular people have to pay them with after tax dollars

corporations pay lower income taxes when regular people do


and so on

it not about taking money away from one group and giving it to another it about taking away the preferential treatment so that everyone has a equal chance to get rich.

once your rich those tax loopholes make it easy as hell to get even richer

while the reverse is also true once your poor it hard and harder to dig yourself out of that whole even if you get a good job.
