Is there another version of this, perhaps with different wording or phrasing?

The “robbing Peter to pay Paul” thing comes to mind although it doesn’t full capture your phrase.

If you got it but never worked to earn it, then someone else worked to earn it but never got it.

“Those who rob Peter to pay Paul, will always have the support of Paul.”

Great saying but not the one I’m looking for.

The problem with socialism is sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.

Not the same of course, but you get the gist.

I’ve thought for a while now that “people of color” is good, but “colored people” is bad.

Frankly, it’s side splitting hilarious. :-D
