I'm not sure what you mean by better but it's perfectly logical to me that someone can provide 3 orders of magnitude more economic value than someone else. The more leverage there is the more the differences between people will be exaggerated. By leverage I mean capital, education, technology, outsourcing, etc. I find it perfectly reasonable that someone who builds a product that enriches millions of lives should be paid orders of magnitude more than someone like a waiter who only services 1 person at a time.
It doesn't make sense to me that someone providing more value to society should be forced to pay more. That seems unfair to me.
What you are talking about is equality of outcome.
I'm talking about equality before the law.
They are 2 different things.
