Leftists will naturally assume you should enact policies that encourage equality for all, but also believe that much of society's problems derive from income disparity. They will push for policies that shift the tax burden from the poor end of the spectrum to the richer end of the spectrum.

I would argue that neo-liberals believe in equality for all, but aren't willing to push for the income redistribution policies that leftists believe in. They believe that the standard economic policies of most governments on earth, to take a hands off approach to banks, labor and trade, is fine. Sometimes this is labeled as "classically liberal".
