So, my question is, what is the opposite of "Fuck you, got mine?" Is it something like, "I didn't do shit, give me yours?" I'm trying to understand the meaning behind the derogatory connotation.

I actually had to look up "fuck you, got mine" on the UD.

"Fuck You, I Got Mine".

People who rally against something that would help someone else because they wouldn't benefit from it.

See also: People who are against health insurance reform.

See also: People who were against credit card reform.

See also: People who were against the government allowing mortgage lenders to make changes to the loans of borrowers who were in danger of defaulting.

See also: People who clamor about supporting the troops and then complain when disabled vets get healthcare when they return from war.

See also: Teenagers at their first McJob who complain because taxes (at the lowest bracket) are taking a sliver of their paycheck away.
All the eldery voters who constantly vote down the public school system because their children are adults have a giant FYIGM complex

...Yeah, looks like the opposite of FYIGM is indeed, "I don't do shit, give me yours," since pretty much everyone who is described as "Fuck you, I got mine," are people who are complaining about paying taxes, or downvoting tax increases, against forgiving debts, etc.

Is it really just the disagreement between the "I worked my ass off for it, I deserve it" class, and the "We're all in this together and we should all share equally" class?

The classic battle between the parasites and the productive, yes.
