My point was that this applies exactly the same for why European salaries are lower than American salaries. It makes no sense but it equally doesn't make sense that Europeans earn more than Asians or Africans. If you want equality it doesn't just mean you get to equalize with the top end, it also means the bottom gets to equalize with you.
