all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others

Definition 
All human beings are entitled to the same rights and privileges, but some will always claim they have a special right to preferential treatment. The allusion is to George Orwell's satire Animal Farm (1945), in which this is one of the slogans that the pigs use to defend their superior lifestyle before less privileged animals. Sometimes shortened to some are more equal than others, the slogan is often used to comment on a situation in which certain people are perceived to enjoy more privileges than others. As far as tax relief goes, it seems that all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
