Agreed. There is a difference however in claiming that its somehow immoral or wrong to expect people who benefit the most to pay the most to pay the most tax and the claim that people with the least access to capital, employment, and influence have some superior position that they not only haven't earned but are actively stealing.
The former is an argument based on a principal I disagree with...the latter is a fear that the social compact where work is rewarded is somehow invalid. I think people probably sense this somehow and default to distrust of out-groups rather than thinking through the implications of their unease.
I'm really just rambling and kinda thinking out loud...
