The rich "win" mostly through their creation of wealth, and usually by causing others to win more than they do (a highly compensated employee, or someone who starts a business, rarely realizes all of the benefit he creates)

In terms of tax structure and wealth transfer they lose, but not as much as they win by their own wealth creation, they do end up wealthier after all. Of course that's pretty much a tautology, you look at the class defined by being wealthy, and see that they are wealthy, not exactly a big surprise.
