Its not about dragging people down to the same level, and success is celebrated, just in a more subtle way.

Its more about not wanting to rub the noses of those less fortunate/talented/lucky/wealthy in the simple fact that you are wealthier than they are.

Not everyone has less becase they can't be bothered to better themselves.
