I'm talking about equality before the law.
They are 2 different things.

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.
